Steve, I can understand your feelings about our representatives. Ours in California are useless, accept for Congressman Herger. He seems to be good at writing letters only. The powerful home school orginization rated senators across the nation from 0 to 100. Our Senator Boxer rated a 0 in effectiveness, now that's bad. It's sad to say but they are our best hope, if we can get them motivated. I do know this, if we don't try, nothing will get done. That's how we get here in the first place. Stan
