This is day 3 since we launched this protest, I have been sending out flyers talking with other web sites asking for support. I have been very busy, i have asked if anyone is making any contacts and i got no response to actually answer my question. The forum is dead here, there is no communication about anything going on. I realize people work and are busy and so am i with a home, family, kids and getting ready for school to start and i'm not expecting alot but i don't see or hear anything. There is no fire, enthuiasm or what ever you want to call it. No one seems to have any interest what so ever. If no one is interested in pursuing the protest then please just speak up and let me know. I can't do this by myself, i need some help. I'm going to stop and put everything on hold until i see some futher interest. I have never in my life started something and not seen it through but this is too big for one person.

Yes,
Until an hour ago I had no money to put in either vehicle for gas so I have not been anywhere in two days. I have finished putting protest letter and flyer info on a word document so it fits on one page. I did take the time today to call 5 senators and whitehouse and ask them did they want me to come to D.C. and see them in person or get off their ass and do their job! And yes I talk to the whitehouse switchboard JUST LIKE THAT.
Anyway, I start a new job on monday, haven't worked since Feb, and i will put up flyers on I-26 tomorrow on my way to shop with my toolboxes. Will start with understanding that I need one day off next month-Aug. 27th. Sorrry I didn't answer sooner but wife & I share comp.

A definite yes here TTW
I can't get out of here just yet, but I am here to help with whatever I can. Just ask and I'll find a way to make it happen or promise to try my damnest. It's time to get up and start swinging. Like the old saying goes, "Don't ever pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old and can't fight, he'll probably just kill ya". Keep up the good work, and let me know when and how I can help.

Yes Ma'am I did. I sent him everything we have so far, and I'm now waiting to hear back from him. He just found out his daughter has cancer and things are a little hectic on his end right now.
