Hi, Debie!
No yelling from me -- it can happen to any of us. Have a really super week!

Hi All,
My appologies, I just got sucked into one. Marsha sent me this and I
firmly believe Marsha, please forgive me for jumping the gun on this one. I
have learned my lesson and next time I will not jump the gun on any of this,
Debie
P.S. Go ahead and yell at me for junking up your mailboxes, I deserve it! I
am really sorry, I won't let it happen again.
Debie, et al,

Please don't pass this on any farther. I've seen this same "call to
action" for 3 years on the 'Net. It may have been true once, but it's
not right now.
Actually, if you want to do something, have your rep get the above bill
*out* of committee and into existence. It provides for a 3 year
moratorium on any new taxes! *That's* something to push for!
Happy Hunting!
