I am sorry, but I am getting more than a little upset that this genealogy mailing list is being used for political propoganda. I hope that something will be done about people using this list to post political meetings, and then following up with the minutes or opinions of the meetings! If this person is so into the politics of his/her city, then she/he needs to start a political list and leave this one to the researching of our Pacific Northwest families. Beth Fladaker
