Thanks for what you are proposing to do. I too think it's time we all took a personal approach, beyond what we are being asked to do by USARK and PIJAC. They are great organizations, and I too will continue to participate in the initiatives they suggest, but I feel I can do more.



Yesterday, I called my Sentor's office and wouldn't let them go until I got the name of the aide assigned to study this topic for the senator. Recognizing that there are too many issues for any senator/congressman/representative to actually know what is going on, I decided to find the aide and focus on influencing him/her. If I can get them to the point that they understand what is going on, then I may get a shot at the senator directly, or at least indirectly through the aide. Everyone can do this. You can get with your local buddies and do it together, or individually. But it can be done. We can't expect USARK and PIJAC to have a personal relationship with every senator, congressman, and representative, but with many of us trying to reach that level, some of us will be successful. And once we have that contact, we can invite our heavy hitters to the dance.



Maybe it won't work. But I'm thinking sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the next call to action isn't my style, and if I can do more, I should try.



Thanks again for what you are doing, and I encourge everyone to do what you can in your own way between the larger "calls to action".
