so, what's our next step?


Codification.

In other words, find the legal documents these topics need to be inserted into, and write them to modify that text.

In the meantime, we keep public opinion focused on the issue and get them to write their elected officials.
 
I lurked in that chat session and I thought it was well organized and insightful. I know I learned a few things.

Charlie - you're a good man for spearheading this effort. I hear chicks find passionate men attractive...

Thanks.

As far as the chicks go, I live in Dallas dude. Passion is no compensation for an empty wallet.

Fortunately, if this works, I won't have an empty wallet anymore.

Don't forget Stan. I'm a good portion of the piss and vinegar- he's the really organizing element of things.
