Re: (meteorobs) NASA Space Science News

Nick is absolutly right about individual letters or e-mail.  As something of 
a political activist (on the right about mining) I learned a little too.  Any 
politician or bureaucrat gives much more weight to individual letters that 
are written by the sender and not copies or reprints sent by a group or 
"special interest." Yes, Dorothy, you too can become one of those horrible 
"special intrests groups" you've read about. 

     Once I had an idea that I sent to VP Gore via fax and I got a personal 
response from one of the National Security Advisors, so it got to or near 
the VP.  I'll call and ask for an individual to address letters and e-mail to 
so someone can at least make a decision to advise VP Al Gore on the 
problem. I would be very surprised if he would condon dropping this part 
of "his " internet and mussing up the image of NASA. Letters form other 
nations about this problem should interset Mr. Gore as it would demostrate 
to him that we are no longer isolated individuals but an electronic 
community or the world. He would like that, and it's true.

     We should send e-mails to Mr. Golden, I believe, and let him know  we 
feel NASA Space Science News is a great direct contact between the space 
agency, the people of the U.S. and a  science flagship for the United States to 
the people of the world.  

     I'll look up the name of the Senate chairman of the Science, Technology 
and Space subcommitte, my Congress directory is out of date.

     I sincerely hope that we all can pull together and forget political divides 
for this goal. I learned years ago that no matter what you may think of the 
individuals holding an office, you sometimes have to work with them to 
achieve your goals because they hold the power. To clear things up, I've 
been somewhat distressed for the last seven years...and that's the last I 
want to say about it here. 

     Let's not jump the gun, we need to co-ordinate our actions for maxium 
impact and we need to know what actions are yet to be taken by NASA. We 
may consider contacting Mr. Golden first because decisions he may make 
about the program.
