POSITIONS OF ORGANIZATIONS

OPPOSED TO HR 1350

(Created 6/3/03)

The quick summary and quick scoring sheets have been brought off-line. I received an objection from a member of an organization who pointed out that not all the views of an organizations may be published on the Web. Organizations have also made their views known via newsletters and email alerts that may address areas of concern. The scores and summary were based upon the available published web resources and could possibly not reflect all areas of concern.

This section is for the purposes of information only. It is not meant to fractionalize efforts in opposition to HR 1350. Its purpose is to make parents aware of positions in one quick location.

Click on the organization to view their position and their CapWiz letters. Beware of signing on CapWiz letters without reading the letter in total.

Organizations that are bolded do not have a position stated on their web site but have publicly opposed HR 1350.
