Civilme,
Of all things Diane Fienstien California senator (the lack of a
cap is intended) from the Silicon Valley is the co-sponsor. I
phoned her office yesterday and just let her know one thing. As an
authorized rep from an ad oc businessmans group (small breakfast
club with some intresting and connected members I'm there to listen
and learn.) Her continued support of this bill would be refelected
in actions taken by us come November. Then since I was rather PO'd
that she of all people would sponsor this lunacy, I asked what it
would take for us to offset the payments she's getting from Disney.
I could feel the person on the other ends face glow as an embarresed
stammer said ... "Let's not go there" .... sigh. 13 years in the
military to come back to a pres with a loose belt and another with
bulging pockets, and half the trains his daddy had.
