I say if we are all going to complain lets do it "en masse" so to say. Complaining individually wont really do a lot of good as each individuals letter will probably end up in the waste bin. If someone was willing to coordinate the petition I would be more than happy to write a letter to the official and send it to them to be passed on in a bunch. I think if we all do this together and the right elected officials are targeted it will do so much more than individual complaints. I also think we should state our case firmly that we are not willing to back down from this issue until we recieve assurances that things will improve and the records of our ancestors are administered by people who actually care about them.
