Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Dave, sounds like you've experienced this. I've found in recent years that ongoing relations with politicians can be rewarding. I had to write a letter for my friend Howard Moffett recommending him to the acupuncture board of California. I wrote to Governor Davis and John Burton and represented myself as a businessman and industry insider and spokesperson. They took my comments well and appointed Howard to the post. I didn't say anything too grandiose. I just indicated what Howard had accomplished and how well he could interface with clinical work, education and the health care industry as a business. Once you get into the mode of communicating, it seems natural and good things happen. CM gets on the map. Thanks for your thoughts.

The more you ask for the more this person will have to become aware of the profession and its utility in the greater run of things. Even if they don't go for it, continue to support this person, unless you like someone else better whom you feel good about supporting and thier chances on winning, keep connected withthem and offer them to consider it again each session (2 years).These people work off of long term relationships. They have a lot of people who will support them while thier little thing is being done and don't do so later, and they can pick them out from those who seriously support them, long term, for who they are.DAVe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
