Exactly!  We have some pols who would like to rewrite
The Constitution.

Elected representatives must represent *everybody*
- corporate and individual - making it imperative for
the stargazers to band together to counteract the lobbyists.
It's a numbers game.  Remember the IDA does not
lobby and neither will most astro clubs. 

The obvious question now becomes
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

The price of democracy is constant vigilance.

Catch this week's NOW on PBS or read the following:

Listen to the comments on "disinformation".
The same is happening with regard to LP.
Like the scientists are saying, we can't wait
(for more information and research)
and must act now.

Get this: Cinergy's CEO believes laws and regulations
will be put in place before industry reacts.
