[QUOTE="Tim Sandstrom, post: 106010, member: 1108"] I agree with GST. A lot of us (me included at times) simply like to whine about things but never do anything. The favorite of mine is "we don't matter so why try." From personal history I'm batting okay. This current subject is an example. I picked up the phone and made phone calls to Hoeven's and the Governor's Office. Mixed in a few others as well. I also emailed and wrote letters. As you can see, it has made a difference. Sometimes the politicians will give the indication they are not listening. If so, that should motivate you. A call to the newspaper here and there and before you know it your message is being written. Even a phone call to talk radio (even if you don't get on air) and whalla, topics are being discussed. Use the media folks, its there for you. But most important, direct communication (voice or pen) to the elected individuals in mass quantity will send a signal. Those of you that whine and don't do anything are not helping us who try to do something because its true, ever person matters. Compound interest works in more than just financials. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] The Lake Sakakawea transfer is more tricky. But yet its an even more prime example of what happens when complacency measured as a victory bites a guy in the ass. We (all of us) slept at the wheel and while we stayed between the lines for many miles we finally crashed. Now we have to scramble. Like this transfer issue Lake Sakakawea needs all of our help too!
