[NSRCA-discussion] Re: redistricting

[George Kennie]

Joe,
Thanks for inquiring. Since 9/11 my financial resources took a tremendous hit (
heard a congressman last nite on TV that informed me that I'm living below the

I can get to see  EVERYBODY !   Not really a sob story, just the reality of
things. Maybe I'm being tested a little, which is O.K.
