My question is, since our own representatives completely ignored us.
Should we now be working on the general public?  Issue a press release and try to get some media attention.  I know that we all cannot afford to go to Washington and march on Washington but could we have some sort of symbolic march here in Missouri some where?  Does this tactic even work anymore?

Just a few thoughts.

Thanks,
Randy Carmack
