It has the email addresses for MOST BUT NOT ALL. I wrote a SHORT ( the longer it is the less likely it is to be read) note pleading for the preservation of my husband's and children's history. His family has been in Missoula for over one hundred years. (You must in some way state a relationship with Montana for the message/testimony to carry any weight) I then COPIED it and then just went down the list, clicking on each email and pasting my messages onto each of the emails. I realize I could have sent one message collectively, but in my experience if it appears to be more personal it stands a better chance than one that is sent in a blanket manner. I gave my name and address at the end even though it outside of Montana. It is generally required in other testimony that I have been involved in. This destruction of documents just makes me sick and I urge you all to write immediately. It only took me an hour to contact all of those that had an email address. I consider it an hour well spent!
