Another thing...
I don't think ceding time is the best idea anymore. I came to that conclusion last night when they tried to have one guys speak for all of us then brush us aside. We should really parade one guy after another, to show how many people we have, and to really hammer our points through their dense peabrains.
Maybe cede time if someone has a long presentation that encompasses our whole situation, but I really think one guy at a time speaking is important to show our strength. Almost none of us are public speakers, but everyone makes a difference speaking for a minute or less.
also, we were told they might get annoyed and interupt us with "we've heard this before" if we all harped on the same point. Our response was going to be, "it's important enough for you to hear again though to make sure you get it." They didn't call us out on it.
Thank you to Paul and MJ, and to all of you that showed up.
