I would do the trip to DC for sure!! I sent letters to all our reps here in AZ and have thus far received two replies....pretty blanketed statments and of course not taking one side or the other.....wow...shocking! I wish I would of went to the town hall meeting out here with McCain...but we were out of town at the time. He has helped our family before when my Step Dad passed away...who was a Pearl Harbor survivor. I actually really like him...I talked to his secretary and he got back with us in regards to our situation within a day.

Regarding political views.....Im an independant...my hubby is a hardcore conservative republican. Neither of us are for big government which is exactly what we are getting right now....and not just with the issue at hand. In my opinion we need to get ready because this is just the beginning of our rights being at risk.
