An update from the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition...

An udate from the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition...

Hi all,

Our strategists have suggested emphasizing Romney and family values at the demonstration on Friday, in addition to emphasizing money. Additional sign suggestions include:

"Gov. Romney, 'Special Interests' is not a Family Value"
or "Gov. Romney, Drug Company Profits aren't Family Values."
"The Romney Tax: $700 per Family"-- this refers to the additional $700+ a year that formula-feeding parents spend on the brand name formulas advertised by the bags, when they could've saved money on store brands.

We must also emphasize that we are not just a "very vocal minority" of advocates as ROmney's spokesperson said in yesterday's Globe.

If you are a health care professional, please wear scrubs and/or white coats on Friday.

If you are bringing your children, remember photographers love photos of kids: if you can emblazon them somehow with a message like above, and we can get it in the paper or news, it could go a long way.

See you 10am, Friday, May 12, in front of the Dome, rain or shine.

Thank you!!
Melissa Bartick, MD
Chair, Mass. Breastfeeding Coalition


See you there.....
