Wendy, That is a great idea and a great letter; am going to write one of my
own; you covered it very well though! Mudpie

	Jim, 
	
	
	Who is singing that song. Oh, by the way here is a copy of a letter
to 
	the editor of the nytimes i sent last night- I can only pray it gets

	published in it's full form 
	
	Maybe I'm just partial, being that I'm a former resident of the
Greater New 
	Orleans Area now residing in Maine, however, I have come to the
conclusion 
	that this administration is just plain clueless. In the State of the
Union, 
	the president dedicated an entire 8 lines to the largest natural
disaster to 
	ever hit US shores. THEN, two of those sentences were looped in with
his 
	wife's agenda. We're facing record deficits, an entire region of the
US is 
	unstable (more so than Iraq), inflation is on the rise, banks are
about to 
	be faced with massive foreclosures or lapsed loans on property with
no 
	value (is this the beginning of a depression), and the State of the
Union is 
	strong? Maybe instead of riding around in a hummer or bus, next time
GW and 
	EVERY CONGRESSIONAL PERSON should get on the ground and help a
family gut a 
	home. That is the only way ANYONE can truly see and feel what it's
like to 
	lose EVERYTHING! THEN, they would see we are from from being strong
anymore, 
	we were in the beginning, now we're just tired. We are tired of no
help, we 
	are tired of no answers, we are tired of the rest of the world
getting aid 
	and not our own, and we are tired of being in limbo. We need answers
not 
	press conferences so that we "joe citizen" can then make the choices
that we 
	must in order to move on.
