Pretty cool. I just might have to bring this up to my local rep.
-
This sort of grass roots effort is warranted for taking steps in the right direction...as long as the steps are forward and not backward...
Thanks, TouchArt...-

Every local community should move in this direction.

Thanks TouchArt!
The Government can help a lot if they listen to the people that cares about human life and the environment in opposed to the big money lobbyists. I still believe something can be done if we have a big change of the Guard in many positions Nationwide. We cannot continue to support people from the Government that turn around and deny or violate our rights. -
i don't have a lot of faith in government to manage society's irreversible entropy. there might be one or two diamonds in the rough, but for the most part, it's all mud they'd like to smudge in your open eyes...

When the wrongs in the Government start to piling up and they do nothing to fix it, they have carved their own image. I am sure some will say that we are only looking for the bad works and not for the good ones. The good works have their own glory and praise however it is the bad ones we must be alert and act on it because these are the ones that will bring the house down.
