Howdy !

We spoke several times in the past about this issue and I'd like to comment

on Representative Jone's letter that you posted to the Educator's listserv.

First, Mr. does not in any way speak for all educators. In fact, he

was soundly and publicly reprimanded for his message. He has since

apologized for writing it.

Second, I take exception with your comment that educators are unscrupulously

lobbying anyone's office. We are, as you probably know, expressing

ourselves. We are doing this in much the same fashion as those who have

worked with you and Representative on this issue. I fail to see how

this could possibly be considered unscrupulous. I also don't see how this

could be considered " strong-arming " anyone. We are not in a position to be

able to do this.>>

Jeff,

In the interest of brevity I did not quote your entire letter, only the

beginning. I want to personally thank you and commend you for a very fine

letter. The letter spoke the facts, voiced your and many other educators and

paramedic's viewpoints, and did this without sarcism, profanity, or any other

negative aspect.

Once again, Thank You!

, BS, EMT/P
