  3. Note: Twitter is currently suffering from a bug that only allows you to access the last 10 pages of the Archive.
  4. Twitter Support was unable to locate the missing tweet; hence, it has been reposted. :-(
  5. This tweet should follow http://tinyurl.com/6dlkq4 and precede http://tinyurl.com/5wgpnl.
  6. Note: Missing tweet at ~11:35 AM July 19, 2008: "The next speaker is Nadia Tsao, Washington correspondent for *The Liberty Times.*
  7. Thanks for reading, folks. Even if you couldn't join us this year, there's still hope for 2009. :-)
  8. Now, go forth and advocate!
  9. Goodbye, Capitol Hill! Goodbye, National Conference 2008!
  10. Amidst lengthy farewells and exchanges of contact information, people began departing for the hotel/airport/metro/bus.
  11. Alas, all good things must come to an end.
  12. The final tally: 44 scheduled appointments + ? drop ins.
  13. Several teams also dropped off FAPA materials at Congressional offices without appointments.

  15. Teams were coming and going throughout the morning and afternoon.
  16. Iris and Coen relocated to Longworth, where they set up camp in the basement cafeteria.
  17. Elsa Tung, aide for Rep. Wu (D-OR), also stopped by. Taiwan truly is a bi-partisan issue.
  18. This has been a public service announcement for lobbyists, which *all* YPG members should aspire to be. :-)
  19. …And those blocks are metropolitan city blocks, not short college/small town blocks.
  20. If you plan to lobby on Capitol Hill, walking shoes are non-negotiable because the Congressional buildings span several blocks.
