Update:I'm adding two links to this post. It has been brought to my attention that many letters are being sent to members of our own government--urging them to ACT!  The first is for letters which can be written to local congressmen, and the second link is to contact senators.  Please urge your friends and family to flood them with appeals to do whatever they can … [Read more...]
