But the fact is that we need to encourage each other, loudly and often, to keep at it. Our time and effort is never wasted. And yours, today, encourages me when I am most discouraged. I did email my Representative today. My senators are sick of me, and I like it like that. We must keep up the effort.<br /><br />Thanks, Darlene!Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-74403275441573046902011-07-17T09:21:12.846-07:002011-07-17T09:21:12.846-07:00*Leslie Parsley - Your blog always has the best i...*Leslie Parsley - Your blog always has the best information of any.

In Paris they constantly go in the streets and protest – the politicians hear them. Often the protests are not about money but other things – like the dignity of their work and so on. Here it’s hard to see many people leaving their air conditioned homes – it they would though I think that we would see some changes. Too bad that it is not in the US culture to protest against their government – what is it? Are they too polite or they just don’t give a flip?Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-9520820121506260262011-07-11T09:08:47.944-07:002011-07-11T09:08:47.944-07:00*Cop Car - I couldn't agree more.
