What really got me annoyed was at the end of the process, each rep required that the topic of the fax be listed according to a list that they provide. Guess what topic was missing? <play Jeopardy theme song> No, you do not have to be Ken Jennings to get this one correct! See below... ... ... ... ... ... Correct, Handicapped rights is the missing category! No, you do not win $2.5 million. I told you that you do not have to be Ken Jennings to get that one right. Please visit the ACLU website and complete the fax and see if your representatives do the same thing. If so, email them with a complaint, like I just did. If they are not thinking that this is a separate issue that crosses all ethnic, political, religious, age, etc. groups, then they are not ever going to "get it" until it happens to them. While you have their attention, suggest that they spend a week in a wheelchair, or with a blindfold, or with earplugs, or all three, etc. for more of an education. Mark
