Dear Gerry and Brig, Thank you for the kind support. Yes, I know you are a fighter, and have less time and reserves in which to do so. I hate hearing that Brig is progressing more rapidly. It stiffens my resolve to not take this sitting down, because I'll be doing nothing else but sitting and lying down soon enough. As my piece describes, I've lived it once already with my mother, and others. How long can we/I be expected to wait politely? Why not appeal to Sen Specter now, before they recess? Even if they can't vote now, it looks bad if they don't get a strong response from us in a timely fashion. We must at least show some resolve. Please, as a constituent of PA, could I ask that you and your groups in PA appeal to Sen Specter. They need to hear from us. We can't be invisible again. Thank you for everything you have done for many years--it has been considerable.
