At Tom Wolfe's house

[kc261]

I happen to live fairly close to Tom Wolfe's house, so yesterday I delivered the 606 letters I had collected to him, rather than pay for the postage. I offered to stay and help with the sorting or anything else that would be good for the cause.

It was pretty awesome to see, especially knowing that Tom Wolfe had already delivered many of the letters to the representatives, so what I saw was only a part of it! Literally thousands of letters passed through my hands, from all over the US. I saw little packages with only a few sets of letters, and some BIG ones too! Together, they added up to a huge amount of letters!

I'd been there for a few hours when it was time for Matthew to get off work, so I went and picked him up and then we went back, because there was still lots more to do.

Even our 7 yr old daughter was able to help. We home-school her, and I can not imagine a better lesson on how our government works than the one she has been getting the past week or so. She worked hard when we were trying to get signatures on letters, too. She does an incredibly good job of explaining the bill, considering she's only 7 years old, and people have a hard time saying no to a little kid who is upset because the government might not let her get another pet betta when the one that she has dies.

Thanks again to EVERYONE who sent in letters, even if it was only one set. Our voice is being heard. Now we just have to get those idiots who support this bill to actually turn on their brains and realize what a horribly bad piece of legislation it is.
