Why is it Shaun and myself are the only ones contacting our representatives?

Chris, new rule: To continue to be a memeber to the board you have to contact your representatives concerning the AWB.

But that's just my .02.

I'm sure more than two people are holding up the world. Once it's been done and said, what's more to say. It's just a matter of doing it. Right.

I guarante, I sent off more letters from the desert last year that most people send in a LIFETIME.

I'm sure there are more out there.

The stipulation thing for membership here. Very bad idea IMO.

Question

The media said there was only 42 working days for congress to get this on the Presidents desk,we have sent money,letters,E-mails,and phone calls,still waiting for an answer,guess we will know in September.
We think he may have already lost his mind,but that will be the cherry on the top for us.

Now why would I be posting this stuff but not contacting anyone?

It's nice to see that Shaun and I are not the only two holding up the world. Didn't mean to step on toes, just wanted to find out who does and who doesn't.

Keep sending them I think we have a real good chance on getting this to die off.
