October 26, 2004 – Initial meeting with Virginia House
Delegate Rob Bell of Charlottesville to discuss ideas for
anti-bullying legislation to be introduced during the 2005
Legislative season.
"Since October I have
worked in tandem with Delegate Rob Bell of the Virginia Legislature;
and the facts, figures, research and proposed language
I presented him were the catalyst for creating two anti-bullying
bills, HB 2226 and HB 2267. I lobbied extensively in
Richmond in support of both bills and testified during the
committee hearings. I'm pleased to report that these
bills have now been passed and are scheduled to be signed
by Governor Warner on April 5."
