I just thought that I would forward a copy of the letter that sent to my 
State Senator.  If you feel strongly about this issue I suggest that you 
e-mail her at: Senator.Alpert@Sen.ca.gov.  Her telephone number is (916) 
445-3952.  If enough people make her "list", perhaps she will realize that 
compiling "lists" of voters is not such a good thing  Many thanks,
