There was a Maine congressman there who told me that his last
election was close so they did a re-count. He was behind by 11 votes. The whole thing was recounted by hand and the only differences were the machine results. He ended up winning by 2 votes. Had he lost that seat, Maine would have had a
Republican majority. He said they are going after him hard this next election. He was VERY interested and concerned. He also drives a tow truck, so he knows everyone. Also there, was someone running for office. She was also interested.
Anyway, now this group has asked me to write this up in a condensed way and
as you can see by this "note" I am wordy!! I am going to email your letter to
my list because you outlined EVERYTHING so beautifully. I am almost ready to go
speak to my town manager.

Joan, Thank you for being out there and sending the film. I KNOW what you
are going through! You just can't unknow this stuff even when the family wishes
you could.

I also feel really scared to be in a room of people that I admire and
respect, and then it hits me that I simply am the only one informed on this
issue, and it is my DUTY to learn how to share it.

NGU

Sincerely,
