| If you have not done so, do. Just because you did not go to a town meetng and make a public fool of yourself, there is still time for your opinion to be heard. Put in a google search for congressmen by zip code, then send them your thoughts.
It is fun--I even wrote to President Obama. |

For which you'll either get an autopen response or the FBI on your ass. |

| Whatever...
I doubt the FBI has time to look into every supportive emailer.
If so, we need to spend less on the FBI and more on Health care. |

| Dear Alice, My congressman is calling me leaving messages. He is an R. Has lots of money to waste. He does not want to know what I have to say. But, you have encouraged me. I will tell him and empty my brain. It will feel good. If I get arrested, I will call for you. This whole state is R. That is because they are courting the big R's money to come and play a little golf on bankrupt golf courses. A facade of wealth. Love, Betty |

| Dear Alice, Back in my early days, I knew how to protest. I once took 8 children to the traffic court with me because I had a ticket for going 25 in a 20 mph zone. The children were not quiet in that court. We took up the whole pew. They laughed, cried, had to have diapers changed, bottles, and noses wiped. When it came to my turn, the judge said, "This ticket is filled out improperly. No case." I said thank you and went home, delivered all the children back to their proper parents. So, exactly what do I have to say to get arrested. Love, Betty |

| Betty,
I don't know. Just say what you think. I doubt you will be arrested. I said what I thought--no one has come for me yet. |

| Me too, Alice. I wrote how to solve the whole problem.
Now I get almost daily letters from our President, well, not personal letters but the FBI hasn't arrived.
I even wrote to PA in the past telling them to put our buy buttons on and reduce the prices of our books, and it has happened. (Most likely not from my letter, but others probably wrote also, so you never know what can happen.)

| Don't worry, Betty, the FBI glamor boys won't be knocking on your door. They don't like to go out in the country where they might get their shoes muddy. |

| The FBI did not come for me, so I wrote another letter rto President Obama today.
I figured he could use a good word, so I gave him several good words.
I told him I liked him , his wife and kids. I was glad I had voted for him and was very proud of him. If nothing else it will give the screeners somethng positive to read.
I might send him another one tomorrow-- could get to be a habit. |

| Carol,
I doubt he will ever see it, but it is fun. I told him I would like a reply written with his left hand.
Time will tell. |

| Do you mean drive away from them? I doubt could elude them for long. Even on the old logging roads! |

| Take them with you. Get them lost. With the saved salary money we can fund Health Care Reform. |
