I just took the time to email all 20 senators on the committee.....took about 30 minutes. AR's don't seem to demure when it comes to spending time to accomplish their goals and we need to have the same attitude. All of the senators have "contact me" links on their main pages. If you type up your letter once and save it on your computer, you can just copy and paste the same letter into all of their message boxes. You can also just type your first letter to one of the senators into their contact via email textbox, copy it, and paste it into all of the other message boxes. That will save retyping the message 20 times. Here's the link again to the individual committee members. You'll find their names and links to their individual sites. Once you're on their site, look for the "contact me" link. _http://agriculture.senate.gov/sen.htm_ (http://agriculture.senate.gov/sen.htm) If any of the senators are from your state, don't forget to mention that fact. You'll have more pull with your own senators. Ginger Cleary, Dallas, GA "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."
