call your congressman

some of you out there know about our passport problems. i have been freaking out (you can ask my husband-this is no understatement) because our trip is quickly approaching (june 2nd) and our children's passports we applied for in february were still not here.
i am ecstatic, overjoyed, relieved, and moved to tears to announce the passports have finally arrived.
how you ask, did i finally do it? well, here is the special secret trick: in the end i didn't have to lie about our departure dates or drive my entire family to san francisco to pick them up...i called my congressman's office. i gave them all our information, and (barely- without crying) told them of our plight. they got in touch with the passport agency, then told us we would get them by next week. two days later i received them fedex priority overnight on my doorstep. i can't begin to tell you how happy it makes me to have all our passports in my hands. i'm going to call chris cannon's office right now and say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
please pass this information on, calling my congressman certainly helped us get our passports, it could help someone else too.
