Here is you chance. Copy and paste the article and send it by mail in paper form to a house or senate member. Dust off that printer. Include a header of your own writing explaining why you are sending this and why you think they should be aware of it. Don't forget to sign it (a mark of respect) and include your area you live in so they know your part of their coverage area. Email is to easy, make this one hard copy. Phils web site makes it very difficult to cut and paste in word but I am making it out in .txt format. Just a lot of edit and you also have to glue both halves together.

That had to take some work! Thank You! My question is - Do you think our elected officials didn't already know some of this? Do you really think our elected officials are duped by these groups? While this is news to someone like me I wonder if someone who works in our government on a daily basis and interacts with these groups quite frequently would actually be surprised to learn who is behind them. I really am asking your opinion here rather than making a statement. Wow Phillip!! That had to take some work! Thank You!

I'm wondering what these two most recent articles are bound to change if anything. Of course, they could also be troll food/astrofood as well, but it all depends. Quite the finds you have here Phil.
