David: Thank you very much for keeping all of us "in the loop" about this legislation. I am busy sending out letters to Congressmen and Senators containing copies of the signed petition I downloaded from the moveon.org site. Clearly, Moveon has no interest in helping me distribute my petition on the FPLA update to Congress. But I will do as much as I can do by myself without their help. I'm using information about what is happening in Oregon in my letters in support of the national FPLA update.
