Howdy, y'all, since I've done non-profit work for decades, and I'm not too old, really, it comes natural for me to contact our local media.  Fortunately, we're a tristate, the shopping hub for several counties in three states that generates about a million listeners, readers, and viewers minimally.  Our city is only 121,000 with a county population of about 172,000 but we're the center of five states of two to three hours in distance to the nearest largest mid west cities in our country.  Geez, was that bland stuff.....get to the point.  ANYWAY, if everyone contacted their media with an email, letter, or phone call to the news department and asked for a story on the Delta Queen vote next week, the word would be out there immediately.  I'm telling you immediately.

Talked to Senator Richard Lugar's office a few weeks ago and in the state of Indiana, the most interest from the Delta Queen issue is coming from Madison, Indiana, and from the Jeffersonville/New Albany, Indiana area.  That Jo Ann Schoen is shaking some trees.  That area of the state by Louisville, Kentucky is really causing a stir for the Delta Queen.  Congrats on that!! 

If everyone today, just used the email, phone, fax a letter, whatever works for your city or town, think how many folks can be reached this way.  Every city counts whether is it a town of 200 or 2 million.  Every town counts.  Keep in there and let your vote count.  It is your vote on an issue you have every right to feel passionate about, keep the word out there, and carry the day!!!  It is, up to us, indeed.  Mary
