Thanks Linda the information you provided does appear to be some of what I and others are looking for. Why did you have to add the little spin slamming the government again at the end. When people read that they will assume the links will have political bias and perhaps miss some important information. I know it is hard to resist taking a poke at someone or something you are at odds with but we should try to hold those punches if we want to help everyone. I sincerely do appreciate the information you provided but you broke your own mission statement. You said "we need to know the facts to make an informed decision." If you left of the slam at the government your audience would be greater. The slam is not a fact it is an opinion.
