Just got through reading the revised version of the new "bill". Looks like they did a major hack job there, but I can't say that I'm not surprised. I knew the original bill was going to be too broad covering too many areas. They probably had to shorten it in order to have some chance of passing.
Still... The orginal version has been read by lots of people and I'm sure it has some of them thinking about the meaning of the word "chemtrails". At least it gives a bit of exposure. |

Your right there Catnip. I was pretty much waiting for this development. Does anyone know if the orginal bill HR2977 is still archived as written, since this one has been numbered HR3616? |

A Letter To Representative Kucinich
by Diane Harvey
1-29-2002
Arun S. Ivatury
Legislative Assistant
Rep. Dennis Kucinich
1730 Longworth
Washington, DC 20515
202-226-8135
arun.ivatury@mail.house.gov
Dear Mr. Ivatury and Representative Kucinich:
Those of us interested in this subject understand why the original bill mentioning chemtrails has been reworded to exclude all reference to military operations within the earth's atmosphere. Indeed, we expected no less than the immediate excise of any mention of the frantically suppressed fact the very word "chemtrails" points to so accusingly. But as you are aware of by now, a significant number of us have been spending our own time and money for the past few years in a serious collective effort to pry a straight answer out of officialdom about what we know very well is going on in the sky. All those whose stated job it is to report to the public on such an important ongoing event have chosen instead to give excruciatingly unsightly performances of political duck and cover.
We are, as you also know by now, particularly disgusted by routinely being treated as mentally deficient as the sole reward for being somewhat more observant than the average citizen. If those of us who have been educating ourselves in the pursuit of truth all this time receive one more idiotic and insulting form letter describing the formation of contrails from ice crystals it will be twenty too many. I can assure you that there are thousands of us who know the difference between contrails and chemtrails so drearily well as to be capable of giving lectures on this at the Pentagon. Either the military and government are consistently and outrageously lying to the American public, or they/you are strangely, unacceptably and dangerously ignorant of a pervasive, expensive and glaringly obvious "secret" operation underway in the atmosphere throughout this country and beyond.
Unless the subconscious attitude of your office is that the average citizen is most probably a deranged dolt, unworthy of the slightest consideration from the saner and wiser class of humans called elected officials, then you most definitely owe it to us to take this outpouring of indignation about the reality of chemtrails seriously. Perhaps you have even by now, in the privacy of your own minds, asked yourselves the great unsettling question. "Just how many certifiably demented citizens are statistically likely to be out there, per square inch? Could there in fact be so many deranged Americans as chemtrail activists seem to represent?"
If nothing else, you would do well to face the fact that we do not after all represent, as some might vainly hope, a hitherto unsuspected demographic consisting of a mass of lunatics. We are just what you would logically conclude: increasingly vocal, normal, competent, reasonable and quite rationally incensed citizens who refuse to be placed in the position of voiceless guinea pigs. We demand to know what is being done to our atmosphere and we want to know why it is being done, no matter what the reason for this might be.
We know perfectly well that chemtrails cause illness, and that this fact alone is enough to cause all those involved in these operations to lie until death doth us part. Of course we really must insist on an answer a little sooner than that. We naturally consider this attitude of perpetual denial to be exactly what it is: the most self-serving and cowardly of all possible responses to our rightfully concerned inquiries. And all officials and authorities of any kind in whom the public trust is invested ought to give some thought to the laws of political cause and effect in this matter. The inevitable chain reaction is bound to be drastic when a fairly large subset of the voting public is repeatedly lied to over a period of time, and is perfectly well aware of it, by a numerous and varied body of unimaginative liars at all levels of local, state and national government.
Elected officials, we are given to understand by that currently unheeded instruction manual called The Constitution of the United States, are not voted into office by the public in order to lie to the public on behalf of blatant "secret" military operations. Furthermore, as each day goes by, more and more people are becoming quite aware of what is going on in the skies over their heads. We are not the isolated and relatively easily ignored voices in the wilderness of governmental and military bureaucracy we once were. This government is going to have to deal with the reality of public awareness about chemtrails sooner or later, and we strongly suggest to you that sooner would be better. The longer this lie continues, and the more of us are lied to, the worse the reaction will be when the majority of the public finally finds out. This is not going to be hidden for much longer, as I am sure you must be beginning to realize.
I doubt that the American public will be very forgiving when the true extent and duration of these lies are finally revealed. And you can be sure the truth will emerge, because it always does. Think about it.

What people picking apart Bills HR2927 and HR3616 don't seem to understand, is that although the latter has been changed in scope---it is still way ahead of "nothing" which is what we had before, not to mention that HR2927 brought chemtrails and mind control to the attention of thousands of people who had never heard of them before, as well as revitalizing the chemtrail community. Wouldn't it be far more beneficial to thank Congressman Kucinich, stand behind him, give Bill HR3616 positve energy---and demand it's passage?
We pay lipservice to the technology that will be deployed once the ABM Treaty becomes null--but it's as if it was merely an intellectual exercise instead of the reality it is. We pass around the horror stories of what these weapons can achieve as if they were mere concepts rather than facts. We talk of the US government/shadow government agenda of the complete domination of space (thus the planet)---as laid out in Vision 2020, (which the last time I checked---has mysteriously disappeared from the US government website at , but can still be found at --though only by a circuitous route)---as if it was happening on some other planet.
As we know, chemtrails are only one step towards this agenda. Chemtrails are not likely to stop by our trying to find fault with this Bill---in fact quite the opposite. The ABM Treaty will be terminated in June. Once deployment of space based weapons begins,(legally) without any accountability whatsoever, it will be unstoppable. The technology available today means without a doubt complete control of our minds, hearts--in fact our very being. We must comprehend this reality. While we fiddle, Rome burns and the AGENDA marches on. We would be far wiser to grant this proposal all our support---while we still can. While we still even know we can.
But that's not all. The force we build by standing together, moving in a positive direction can and will spill over to all other areas. We can build a momentum which will change the tide, change the negative thinking now predominant on this planet. Technology is a double edged sword. It's possible uses for healing are as great as they are for destroying. We are at the last threshold; the choice is up to us. Why not take a chance--for once join forces and stand unified behind this plan, along with the hundreds of organizations that are already doing so.

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty does NOT ban all space-based weapons. It bans weapons of mass destruction in space. Moreover, that treaty has NO enforcement mechanism. Also, the Moon Treaty and the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty do not ban space-based weapons.
The World Treaty Banning Space-based Weapons and U.S. legislation incorporate compatible language and purpose. The signing of the World Treaty will help put pressure on the U.S. Congress and President to pass H.R. 3616 and forthcoming Senate legislation into law that will ban space-based weapons in 2002. Only the U.S. has initiated the aggressive move to weaponize space and to break the ABM Treaty, as announced by the US President that he will do in June, 2002. .
Under the World Treaty Banning Space-based Weapons, “Each State Party to this Treaty shall implement a ban on space-based weapons, implement a ban on the use of weapons to destroy or damage objects in space, and immediately order the permanent termination of research and testing, manufacturing, production, and deployment of all space-based weapons of such State Party.” Similarly, H.R. 3616, the Space Preservation Act of 2002, introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich and a forthcoming Senator “To preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of all humankind by prohibiting the basing of weapons in space and the use of weapons to destroy or damage objects in space that are in orbit, and for other purposes” will also “implement a ban on space-based weapons of the United States and the use of weapons of the United States to destroy or damage objects in space that are in orbit and immediately order the termination of research and development, testing, manufacturing, production and deployment of all space-based weapons of the United States.” The U.S. legislation will lead the U.S. President to sign the World Treaty, which will ban all space-based weapons…the ultimate goal that is achievable in 2002.
The World Treaty states, “Each State Party to this Treaty agrees to the establishment, funding, equipping, and deploying an outer space peacekeeping agency, whose mission it is to monitor outer space and enforce the permanent ban of space-based weapons under this Treaty.” In a step towards the establishment of the World Treaty, H.R. 3616 requires “The President shall direct the United States representatives to the United Nations and other international organizations to immediately work toward negotiating, adopting, and implementing an international treaty banning space-based weapons.” Both the World Treaty and the U.S. legislation lead to the establishment of a world space peacekeeping agency.
Both the World Treaty and the U.S. legislation do not prohibit the use of funds for activities including “space exploration, space research and development, testing, manufacturing or deployment that is not related to space-based weapons or systems, or civil, commercial or defense activities (including communications, navigation, surveillance, reconnaissance, early warning, or remote sensing) that are not related to space-based weapons or systems.”
The World Treaty explains that “Each State Party to this Treaty undertakes not to base in space any object carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction, install such space-based objects or weapons on celestial bodies, or station such weapons in outer space in any other manner. The moon, the planets, and other celestial bodies shall be used by all State Parties to this Treaty exclusively for non-weapons, peaceful purposes.
The establishment of weapons-related military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military maneuvers on celestial bodies or space-based objects shall be forbidden.” The World Treaty states, “The use of military personnel for scientific research or for any other non-space weapons, peaceful purposes shall not be prohibited. The use of any equipment or facility necessary for peaceful exploration or habitation of the moon, the planets or other celestial bodies, or objects in space shall also not be prohibited.” Space presents the time and place in which the military role changes. There is a non-space-based weapons role for the military to play in space that can provide important service benefits to earth. Since the military is not going to disappear, and has great skills and intelligence, it is time to apply the military in service in the context of a new space paradigm that this World Treaty and U.S. legislation allow the human species to enter together. This is where the world peoples comes together.
In both the World Treaty and the U.S. legislation, the term “space” includes “all space extending upward from an altitude greater than 60 kilometers above the surface of the earth” and “includes any celestial body in such space.” “The terms ‘space-based weapon’ and ‘space-based system’ means a device capable of damaging or destroying an object or person (whether in outer space, in the atmosphere, or on earth) by – firing one or more projectiles to collide with that object or person, detonating one or more explosive devices in close proximity to that object or person, directing a source or energy against that object or person, or any other undeveloped means.”
The ABM Treaty was an agreement between only the US and USSR. This is the time for the WORLD Treaty to replace the ABM Treaty that the U.S. President has committed to breaking on June 13, 2002. The U.S. could then deploy a space-based weapon system under the guise of calling it “MERELY testing.” Time is of the essence. With this sense of urgency, World Citizens are coming together in solidarity, rising above their different perspectives, to work together to achieve one common goal: to pass the U.S. legislation and the compatible World Treaty into U.S. national and world law that will BAN SPACE-BASED WEAPONS IN 2002. www.peaceinspace.com

Subject: UN General Assembly Votes - ban on space-based weapons
Below, thanks to the staff members at the UN General
Assembly in New York and at the UN Outer Space Committee in
Vienna Austria, are the vote tallies on the two most recent UN
Resolutions on Preventing an Arms Race in Space.
NOTE - There are many no-shows at UN votes. The tallies below
show who showed up for the vote on the Resolutions to prevent an
arms race in space. They PROVE that that nearly ALL of the UN
member nations participating in these General Assembly votes
support a ban on space-based weapons. NONE voted against the
resolutions. Only 3 or 4 nations abstain from voting.
On November 29, 2001, in a UN General Assembly vote
unanimously approved the basis for world treaty establishing a
permanent ban on space-based weapons, in Resolution 56/535,
adopted by a 156-0 vote, with 4 abstentions. Significantly, the
United States and Israel were among the four nations abstaining
(Georgia and Micronesia were the other two abstaining nations).
On November 20, 2000, the United Nations and Israel similarly
abstained from voting on a General Assembly resolution to prevent
an arms race in space (Resolution 55/32), where the final adopting
vote was 163-0.
A/RES/56/535 29 NOV. 2001 VOTE: YES - 156 NO - 0
ABSTAIN - 4 (USA; Israel; Georgia; Micronesia)
A/RES/55/32 55/32 20 NOV. 2000 VOTE: 163 YES NO - 0
ABSTAIN - 3 (USA; Israel; Micronesia)

From defender's post of 1/12/02:
"A slamDunk for Chemtrail Activists!
No hard feelings Chip?? Dunk??
It looks like Dennis the Menace emerged from this with egg on his face. In the eyes of his colleagues in the House -- and many of the Capitol observers -- it appears that someone "put something over" on Kucinich by inserting wording he wasn't even aware of; or else he changed his mind as to the efficacy of his bill.
No hard feelings, defender?

No hard feelings to have Dunk! 
I agree with desert flower. TPTB can't fool everyone forever. DF does have the right attitude here, whereas I have tended to be fatalistic, as in my questioning of whether or not Dennis K. might be assassinated.
Even if Dennis K. were part of a plan to discredit(?) the chemtrail issue, which, BTW, I don't believe he is... it wouldn't change the fact that chemtrails have received at least some of the attention they deserve.
Hey, Senator John Glenn is also from Ohio!! TPTB also tried to kill his attempts to end Non-consensual Human Experimentation in the U.S. when he introduced that bill, but he's still alive too, (even revealing the existence of ET's without government approval?)! What is it with Ohio? We've got some real American heroes to support here! Let's not let'em down!?
We (or should I say "I"), tend to think that just because the mainstream media ignores chemtrails, assassinations, non-consensual human experimentation and countless other conspiracies that all hope is lost. In fact, this doesn't mean that powerful forces aren't at work to expose them and bring them to justice! The bad guys rely on apathy, among other things, to keep us in the dark.
Dennis K. and John Glen are only the tip of the iceberg. The Powers That Suck are crumbling before our very eyes thanks to people like this!
.... trying to be part of the solution, instead of the problem!

Here's what I don't understand. It is very obvious why the Bill had to be changed. Bills are proposed all the time that have to be ammended because of their likelihood or not of being accepted. I'm sure Congressman Kucinich included the definition in the first Bill because he felt it was part of a major issue and wanted to see if it would be accepted. Perhaps he hoped for more than what could be achieved at this time. However the Bill's focus was always to ban space based weapons first and foremost and to find a treaty to replace the out going ABM Treaty in June--after which time the US can deploy weapons in space---weapons which I'm sure you are aware are of such magnitude that it would guarantee US domination of space--thereby the planet.The replacement treaty, is in place. I realize the disappointment of the chemtrail community, however we must understand that without a replacement of the ABM treaty and the curtailment of US space expansion---THERE WILL BE NO STOPPING CHEMTRAILS OR ANYTHING ELSE. Is this what we want? Because with negative response that is what we'll get. The proposal of this Bill banning space weapons was an incredibly courageous act by one human being in the face of a world dominating nation. And not only is there lack of support by some, but an outright desire to pick apart the best and only chance we have of turning the tide leading to the control of all humans on this planet.
All of this was sprung on us out of the blue with the advent of 9-11 and then the rapid abrogation by the US from the ABM Treaty. We have only until June to get this in place. People have worked day and night since these events have started unfolding to get this set up. Are we going to fall into dissension just to satisfy an urge to get at the bottom of every little nuance regarding this Bill? I don't understand what is being hoped for here. It's obvious chemtrails will not be reintroduced at this time---perhaps they will later after the first battle is won. In fact when the treaty is put in place, and the tide of negativity replaced with positive action it will be one of the many things detrimental to this planet that will be stopped. Do we have such lack of vision that we are willing to destroy this chance? Will we never learn? This is our last chance. Are we going to let it slip by?
Is all the talk and action by many who have worked so hard for nothing? Do you think Congressman Kucinich put himself on the line for this?
My God people---let's come to our senses!
Love and Peace

Dr. Carol Rosin, ICIS President, PO Box 25040, Ventura, CA 93001
Tel: 805-641-1999 Fax: 805-641-9669 POSITION PAPER 1-27-02 DRAFT 1
NEW SPACE PARADIGM: U.S. HOUSE AND SENATE LEGISLATION and
WORLD TREATY BANNING SPACE-BASED WEAPONS to be SIGNED in 2002
The purpose of H.R. 3616, the Space Preservation Act or 2002, introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a forthcoming Senate Bill, and of the compatible World Treaty Banning Space-based Weapons is “To preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of all humankind by permanently prohibiting the basing of weapons in space." The U.S. legislation requires the U.S. President “to take action to adopt and implement a world treaty banning space-based weapons.” The WORLD treaty will replace the ABM Treaty that President Bush announced the U.S. will unilaterally break in June. This legislation and World Treaty are focused on achieving a ban on space-based weapons in 2002, at the one moment in history when this can be accomplished BEFORE weapons are placed in space… and on creating a world cooperative space program that will replace the space-based weapons program and the war industry and mindset. This new national and world law will bring humanity into a new Space Age paradigm of real solutions to urgent human (health, education, poverty and suffering…war and terrorism) and environmental (energy, global warming, pollution…) problems, stimulate a new kind of space economy that will no longer be based on fear and war, and will build a security system based on the applications of space technology to enhance communication and earth observation, making it possible to reduce and eliminate dangerous technologies on earth while transforming the war industry and mindset into a space industry that recognizes who we are in these bodies and in the universe. There will be peace on earth through peace in our sacred space. People and organizations across the U.S. and worldwide with different perspectives are rising above them in solidarity to ban space-based weapons.
The U.S. legislation and the World Treaty Banning Space-based Weapons provide a new framework for a space stimulus plan in which humans can build a sustainable national and world economy and a security system that is based on continuing to build world cooperative and inexorably linked civil, commercial and military space development and exploration programs instead of space-based weapons programs. The legislation and World Treaty establish a permanent ban on space-based weapons. The World Treaty leads to the creation of a space peacekeeping agency that will verify and enforce the ban. The World Treaty incorporates wording that is compatible with the U.S. legislation and that is in adopted UN space/peace treaties and from international treaty proposals. The World Treaty is based on world law related to the peaceful uses of outer space including in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, on universal laws and principals, and on the most recent U.N. General Assembly resolutions on preventing an arms race in space. The passing of this legislation and World Treaty into law in 2002 is a vital step needed to cap the arms race. This will lead to the reduction and elimination of ground-based weapons that can damage or destroy objects or people in space, and that will lead to the reduction and eventual elimination of dangerous weapons and technologies on earth.
A U.S. national and a world movement is rapidly networking to build support for the U.S. legislation and the World Treaty that will ban on space-based weapons. The intention is to pass this ban into national and world law this year. Further testing of missile defense space-based weapons will be halted, BEFORE President Bush breaks the ABM Treaty, and BEFORE an unstoppable momentum of vested interests can deploy them under the guise of it being “MERELY testing,” On December 13, 2001, Bush announced the U.S. will unilaterally abrogate the ABM Treaty in June, thus accelerating the space-based weapons program amid an atmosphere of fear and terrorism, and the movement to prevent it. The weaponization of space would increase global instability and the probability of global warfare with weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons, or biological, chemical, or other weapons, along with perpetuating more suffering, poverty, environmental damage and deaths of more and more species including humans. Space-based weapons are dangerous, destabilizing, too costly ($148 billion so far), and would not protect anyone or anything from terrorists. This legislation and treaty will cap the arms race in 2002, once and forever, and will allow space R&D and exploration programs to continue with a non-space-based weapons mandate and with commitment to direct the Space Age technology, products and services to solving problems on earth,
We can now feasibly transform/convert the space-based weapons R&D program and war industry into a world cooperative civil, commercial and military space R&D program and industry without space-based weapons. This is the new space paradigm…a new way of thinking, This will unleash minds to create safe and clean alternative Space Age technologies, products, and services that will stimulate the economy more than will a space-based weapons industry, including more jobs and training programs that can be applied directly to solving urgent humanitarian problems (eg. healthcare, education, poverty, hunger, etc.) and environmental problems (eg. the energy crisis, global warming, pollution, etc.). This world cooperative space R&D and exploration program will put into place technology and information services that can provide us with a strong national and global security system that is based on modernizing ground forces, which includes enhancing world cooperative communication, information sharing, and alternative technology applications and sharing. The WORLD Treaty halts worldwide R&D, testing, production, manufacturing and deployment of ALL space-based weapons as does the U.S. legislation. A multitude of vital benefits and opportunities that will be made available to everyone inclusively will bring the world, including former adversaries, together.
While there have been decades of efforts to stop it, and decades of efforts to build it, the largest R&D program in history now exists, and it is mandated to weaponize that place above all our heads. Removing that mandate by signing into U.S. national and world law the ban on space-based weapons will not stop ground-based weapons systems or basic R&D programs, but it will stop the R&D, testing, production, manufacturing and deployment intended for space-based weaponry. This will lead to the reduction and eventual elimination of dangerous and costly ground-based systems and to their replacement and alternatives. This ban will actually free minds in the military industrial/business intelligence lab university complex so that they can create technologies, products and services that we need the Space Age in which we live. This ban will cause “second order change” to occur that will allow us to enter into a new space paradigm in which we can live in peace and harmony on earth and in space. With intention and commitment, the space-based weapons industry will now be transformed into a world cooperative military, civil and commercial space industry without weapons in space. The war and weapons economy will be transformed into a Space Age economy. Veils of secrecy will begin to be lifted. Resources including alternative energy and clean propulsion systems, pollution free technologies, and means of caring for all life on earth will be supported and will emerge.
ICIS educates individuals, groups, decision makers and the collective consciousness about the legislation and World Treaty that will remove of the mandate to weaponize space and outlaw space-based weapons, about the resulting benefits of continuing and expanding already on-going world cooperative military, civil and commercial space R&D, and about the vision of what IS and what CAN BE in space and how that will benefit all on earth. For example, the military role changes in space as they can help pave the way into space and get the technology and information services applied directly to solving earthbound problems. The militaries of the world depend now on surveillance, reconnaissance, navigation and communication satellites, radar and sensors for enhancing their intelligence and because they use them as “force multipliers in war and defensive situations. The militaries can also use the same technologies for dual uses, the other use being to help humans and other animals and our environment, for example. When the space-based weapons momentum is cancelled, the technologies will emerge that we want, clean and safe, and applicable to solve problems not create them. And the militaries can continue to work on their non-space based weapon systems with corporations and businesses in the new space paradigm. The contracts allotted will not be space-based weapons based. This is a first step to changing the way the minds think in those arenas. The choice is ours. We can now replace blueprints for space battle stations and weapons yet to be imagined. This is only a once-in-a-lifetime choice: Weaponization or Cooperation in Space. We can have space-based battle-stations and weapons pointed down all our throats that are being designed to control the earth and space from space, or we can have space craft, space-based habitats, hospitals, schools and universities, laboratories and industries, hotels and resorts, farms, elevators, and places in space where future generations can live, work and explore. Imagine how much we would learn about healing techniques from designing a space-based hospital in zero gravity. Imagine what it would be like to visit a space-based hotel and resort. Space tourism has begun. Imagine the new technologies that will be released that are of a non-polluting nature when the collective consciousness awakens to the available alternatives. As humans evolve into space with a new collective consciousness and intention, we will learn more about ourselves in these bodies and about who we are in the universes.
It is OUR responsibility, our RESPONSIBILITY, to educate about the new Space Age paradigm and this new way of thinking, about the legislation and the compatible World Treaty, to get it passed into law while we still can, to make sure that space technology and services get applied to solving urgent humanitarian and environmental problems, and to preserve our sacred space for the children.
The legislation H,.R, 3616 has been introduced, and the Senate version will soon follow. The compatible sister companion World Treaty Banning Space-based Weapons will soon be officially introduced and signed by nation-state leaders. The ICIS 90 Day Plan of Action to educate people and decision makers about the rapidly growing support for this ban will be announced in February. The globally televised World Interactive Treaty Signing (WITS) event is scheduled to take place in May.
Timing is of the essence. We have only a few months before the ABM Treaty is going to be abrogated, in June. People are calling, faxing congress members and world leaders (free via the www.peaceinspace.com website), and are writing and calling members of the US congress and administration, and nation-state/world leaders, to request their support and signatures. Leaders of Canada, Russia, and China have publicly stated they are ready to ban space-based weapons. People are contacting the leaders to request they introduce and sign the World Treaty and invite all other leaders to do the same. The ICIS FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions (see website), has continually updated sample letters and addresses.
Keeping weapons out of space is one of the most important and possibly the most important contribution our generation can make for our suffering life forms and environment on our planet, and for the children. Peace on earth begins in space. Space holds the key to peace on earth.

By the way---thanks Defender for the positive attitude. It would be great if people would send Congressman Kucinich support---as he is only human ---in spite of what he took on----- and needs all the support he can get. I haven't been posting for a while because of computer problems etc...---plus I've been working really hard. Hi Delphi!---Lulu, and all the rest of you Long time....
Take care all

I totally agree with desertflower. Who else with any political clout has had the guts to bring up the word "chemtrails" ? Not a one. This man should be highly praised by us,, not chastised. That's a real good way to show appreciation, huh? He has put his reputation on the line,, his peer status, and maybe his life. We all knew that chemtrails were going to be Xed off of that bill, now didn't we? He did try,... we owe him gratitude and support, not anger that his attempt failed. |

The Electronic Activist
http://www.berkshire.net/~ifas/activist/index1.html
How to write your congressperson
One of the best ways to get your point of view to members of Congress is through a personal letter. Elected officials pay close attention to the mail they receive because every letter represents a certain portion of their constituency. Many elected officials now have e-mail addresses. For those with access to the world-wide web, the Institute for First Amendment Studies' Electronic Activist provides an easy way to send e-mail to your congressperson. The URL is http://www.ifas.org Whether you use the Internet or the postal system, there are certain basic rules to follow when writing to elected officials. Here are some tips:
In the first paragraph, state your purpose for writing. Make it short and to the point. If you are writing about a certain bill, specify its number.
Then, build your case — explain why you feel as you do. Use facts, not emotional arguments to support your position. Explain the ramifications of the matter in question.
If you are writing in opposition to something, say so. Explain why it is wrong, and suggest alternatives.
If you admire your legislator for a particular reason, mention it in your letter.
Ask your legislator his or her view on the subject.
If possible, keep your letter to one page. Make it legible. Unless you have excellent handwriting, use a word processor or typewriter.
Be sure to include your name and complete address (even for email correspondence).
Follow this recommended format:
The Honorable _____________
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
The Honorable _____________
United States House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Why are these guys from Ohio? Maybe just a coincidence. Maybe John Glenn has some real clout, inside knowledge. Wright-Patterson AFB is also in Ohio? Wonder if there's any connection?
