Hello! (again!)
I've been thinking about doing this feature again for some time now. It does take awhile. But my excuse for putting it off was wiped away yesterday. Luke Sasha Fleishman, a teenager who rides a bus, was SET ON FIRE. I hope - if there is the slightest bit of conscience within you - that you are as repulsed and sickened by this act of evil as I was.
Please, e-write your Congressperson immediately.

Otherwise, go to www.house.gov and enter your ZIP code. If you live in a particularly large city, or you live in an area in which two districts border one another, it might be wise to enter the ZIP +4 code. (example: 12345-6789) You can find the last four numbers on your water or utility bill. Thanks.

Also, if you wish to donate to Fleishman's family to defray medical expenses, go to fundly.com. Thanks.

ezs note: If you live in a district where there is a Republican representative, don't despair - e-write! Every letter makes them squirm even more. It's difficult, to be sure, but you can make a better world for all of us. For more information, go to www.house.gov.

New blogpaper up!
On November 6, I finally put up a new blogpaper. I really like it a lot better. The title of each section is a lot larger, and the typeface is much more attractive. The "Comment" section is bolder, and uses a different color which makes commentary by you far easier. Plus, I like pink!
As always, you are more than welcome to send your comments and questions to me. Thanks.
