lobby day follow up

I hope you all made it back safely to wherever you came from.
I was really excited after talking to the senators and Young's staff, and I felt like they took us seriously, but after a few days I started wondering again how much was just the expected "political listening" without actually hearing. Should we have been more demanding? What could we do to follow up and show that we are serious? Maybe more info on the Udall bill? phone calls? Young's staff seemed genuinely interested when they heard they could get their hands on more money for AK.
