If you see your delegates name here, please write or email or phone and say
THANK YOU!- (it never hurts)...Following are some delegates who still need to
hear from their constituents...
COX - Chesterfield - This bill will go to his committee - HE IS THE CHAIR -
so if he could get 10 letters, it would totally impress him...
Byron - Campbell
ED Scott - Orange, Culpeper, Madison
Sherwood - Winchester and Frederick
Thanks for all your help - I know that some of the bird clubs are getting
involved - please feel free to pass this on to friends and neighbors as
well...the fisherman who use the crabs as bait to catch eels have hired a
lobbyist, but
it's already late in the game...Keep those cards and letters coming... IF
YOU NEED ANY INFO, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME OFFLINE....This is great
work! Thanks again...Rich Rieger, President, Northern VA Bird Club
