I've got what may be a dumb question but here goes anyway: how do they pick who is allowed to speak to the committee? I mean, Alice Tripp, of course she should. And as much as I cannot stand them, the Mothers group is a "public advocacy group", so I can see that, too. But where do they get some of these people?
