Thanks for the URL Ron, it was very helpful. I am a No. Calif Resident
in the USAF currently stationed in Illinois. Without the "heads up" on
this proposed legislation and your URL to get me to the right person, I
wouldn't have had the chance to voice my opinion. I'm pasteing the gist
of my email below for anyone to use as a guide should they be interested
in contacting their representative or senator.
Thanks again,
Jeff Perkins
