If that is what we want to do, then let's start a campaign to do just
that. Let' start adding the E-Mail address of the White House, The sec. of
Agriculture, and a few key members of Congress to each letter we write here
among ourselves in which any comment is made about OFPA and the need to
change or trash it.

By "key members of Congress" I mean maybe the Speaker of the House, the
Chairman of the Agriculture Committees of both houses, the President Pro Tem
of the Senate, and maybe three or four others who can be suggested by anyone.

Let the people in a position to do something about this know how we feel.
Do this in adition to drafting and sending any comments on the proposed
rules. Ge the ball rolling NOW!
