Not to mention most Senators do not accept mail or email from people not in
their own district. Your snail mail would more than likely end up in the
trash and not even opened.

It would probably be more effective to write to your own senator. Too
late for Santorum, I'm sure.

They way I look at it is our taxes go to the government to
pay for such services. We shouldn't have to pay twice.

I can see it now, your inflight and you need a weather update
and you hear the breifer say "how are you going to pay for this?".
I wonder if this idea is just riding on the moementum of FS21.

(Under government, it's the IRS that collects the "fee")

Have your heard about the new system they use for toll roads?

Exactly so. It's obviously a sweetheart deal for the weather venders. In any
case, I wrote to both of my U.S. senators today about this ill-advised
legislation to express my disapproval. Wrote them... not emailed. If I go to
the trouble of writing them, I'll get a reply in the mail. That doesn't always
happen with emails.

Have any of you gone to the trouble of writing? This should be important to all
of us.

When's the vote? Snail-mail (rather than fax) might not get there
through the screenings before a vote.

My senator has a notice right on his web site that regular mail can have
quite a delay
these days and email or fax will be faster.

Mine, too and both Allard and Campbell will follow-up an email with a snail
mail response.
