I agree with what you say, regarding the size of the group. But first of all, I would never presume to lobby on behalf of the group without its permission. Secondly, that's why I wanted the number of people effected by CH -- so they could see how many people would be "in their debt" for supporting us. While we wouldn't have numbers if I lobbied on behalf of OUCH, we would have numbers in how many are effected by it. Lastly, I do appreciate your concerns. If you or anyone else sees potential pitfalls before I do this PLEASE tell me. I'd rather exam,ine them before I do this rather than while I'm doing it.
