Hey Debbie, In my humble opinion, I think it simply best to contact the Senators in Washington the old fashioned way directly by letter or phone call. I understand most of them don't acknowledge much of their email. It's good that they at least know how you feel on this matter, as well as any other legislation brought before them. Online petitions really don't hold much weight. If you notice all those that come through your email regularly, most don't even show where the completed list of names should be sent. These type petitions are also incumbent upon people forwarding and someone actually taking responsibility of seeing it finally gets to the intended parties. These type of petitions are totally discounted anyway since somebody has to actually verify all the names listed before such petitions can be certified. I'll repeat here that I'm not trying to take the list off-topic, but just wanted to give everyone a head's up on what is occurring that may affect your genealogy research. Thanks, Donnie
