The message below is about a subject that deserves great respect, but I'd like to request that members of this list remember that this is a mailing list about sustainability and specifically Tompkins County.
The message below appears to be a general political message. However valuable its content, there is no sign whatsoever that it was tailored for this list. It appears to be about neither sustainability (unless perhaps you stretch the word to mean general goodness) or the county. In fact, it even describes itself as a chain letter. Please take a moment to consider whether your messages are on topic for this list before sending them here.
