The Houston action in the spring of 1996 tested our inventiveness. We had a housing forum with HUD Secretary Cisneros, hit one of the biggest nursing home chains, Living Centers of America, at their headquarters and at the home of the CEO (except he had moved). We went to the Harris County Republican Headquarters and offices of Congressman Tom Delay (then House Majority Whip). The last day, in a move before our time, we hit Cigna, a managed care company. Lack of accessible transportation in this behemoth city required us to load into inaccessible cargo vans, via doors used as ramps. We even created and performed our own version of Deep in the Heart of Texas.
