Brenda, for today you are my hero.  Thank you so much.

thank you for that, Booman.  I feel so let down and frustrated.  These senators know me by my first name!..well, doubt they remember me...but all the same, I am constantely calling and sending emails and calling and sending emails and everything that matters!  They seem so far removed from what reality is!  What happened when they stepped foot in the district of columbia I will never know!  One can simply watch them go astray on a moment to moment basis.  I really thought Obama had the guts to actually do something but it did nto take him long to muster to the call of modereratism.  He taalks a good talk but as far as walking a good walk...the jury is still out and sliding to the neg. as far as I can see.  I am so angry and frustrated....they do not listen,,period!  I am but one lonely voice out here....where are my backups?  Tha tis what I wanna know!  You ask for activism...I am acting...where were you all today in all of this...what did you all do?  It is so lonely out here in that regard!

You aren't alone...I wrote and I called...I have the "Queens of Maine". Talk about being lonely....
