AHOWS: One thought I had after the last post. In the spirit of trying to do something, instead of doing nothing, I would suggest you take the post you did here and email it to Senator Debbie Stabenow (D, MI). She is one Senator that at least will respond back to the "little people". I took the letter written by -righty,kermit, don't remember who- in the early days when EQBM got caught up in operation spamlot. She responded by saying she would pass my thoughts on to friends on the Senate Banking Committee. Don't know if it will do any good, but she will actually respond, when others won't (like my Representative, and the other Senator that represents me in Michigan) ....let me know if I can be of further help ...
