Thanks, Nita. This was needed. There is a great tendency to assume that
the poor are dispensable. If they slide off the radar screen, nobody
notices or wants to notice. I think on the grand scale of inequities the
very rich and very poor really stick out. We need a more equitable
distribution of wealth. The gap is widening and the politicians are working
to increase the gap as well. Fund Udall, a mere pittance compared to so
many other porkbarrel projects. We need funding to increase the quality of
life generally (Science (I am including medicine), arts, improving
environmental conditions, for example).

Subject: fans
I know it is diffucult to accept, but in Houston and Dallas (that I know
of) we are distributing fan and in somecases airconditions -electric
bills to the poor are being deferred. This is serious business. I want
the Udall bill funded as much as anyone, but in addition to the deaths
amoung the elderly and very younge. Illegal alians are dying at such a
rate that the mexican government is issueing warnings. It is serious, I
know, but these are people also. Nita
