Hi Margie- WOW that's great! Thank you so much for contacting the newspaper. What you've done is EXACTLY what we were hoping for. Thank you for the kind words about the letter but it was written by Mike Claeys from PAN. I will be delighted to forward your letter to him. If you could also send or fax him a copy of the newspaper article as it was printed it would be extremely helpful to us. mail to: Mr. Michael Claeys 822 College Ave suite C Santa Rosa CA 95404 fax 707-544-2363 800-850-4726 Also, would you be able/willing to offer one more bit of help in this same area? We have an ad we are sending out across the nation to individuals and support groups. We are asking them to then send it to their local newspapers for publishing. There is no cost for us to send you the ad itself but we are asking if the cost of printing it in the newspaper can be covered by individuals or their groups. Please let me know if you or someone you know can help us. Thank you for all you are doing to help, Barbara WE DESERVE A VOTE!
