I sent my e-mail letter off to my Representatives today. How about the rest of you? IG posted the link here in this thread so everyone could contact their Representative.
We can gripe here on the Forum all we want but we need to be part of the process by letting our Representatives know how we feel too.
Upthesaukee: we do agree on this.
