I suppose people could send me signatures that I could quite literally cut and

paste on to one sheet...that seems kind of primitive, but it would work.

I could then send it on to the Trib as well as the four leaders and the

Governor...

If people do want me to do that, my address is 3035 Kay Jay Drive, Northbrook,

60062.

Happy New Year everyone,

My email was sent to the list on December 26 and only appeared

yesterday. The group gremlins are at it again. : )

Ellen, if the leaders of IPADD could create a process for gathering

signatures, it would be a step forward in establishing IPADD as

a group with a voice.

When someone reads an article that creates a stir in them so

strong that they set the dishes, laundry, dinner, shopping, and

paying work aside to write a response -

they could post their letter on a site like was suggested and announce

it's availability on this listserv. Then those of us who are interested

can read the letter and if we agree, sign it.

This keeps the potential for political fires on the list to a minimum.

Thoughts?
