JonInDenver Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 i borrowed this from an earlier thread. keep contacting your delegates, keep sending those e-mails and faxes. don't let them think for a minute they have gained yet another grace period. QUOTE (JonInDenver @ Feb 18 2003, 12:21 AM) though i AM becoming optimistic... i am continuing the battle as if i had no good news at all. i want to keep the pressure on. i don't want anyone to feel like "well, we got it THIS far, we can take a break now." i want GZ and DOS to continue to get inquiries on our cases. if there are further breakdowns, errors, bungles, screw-ups, and "two-week delays" everybody will still remember "that guy from denver." friday i delivered my sweeties valentines flowers to my senator's aid. i just met with my congressman AGAIN this afternoon. i will be meeting with one of my senator's later this week. i will be in the face of anyone who will make time for me, and i will talk to anyone who will listen. i said - "i will not rest" - and optimistic or not - i meant it. Good for you Jon! Keep the pressure on. We have seen all too often in the past what can happen when we let up. I e-mailed Richard Adams last night and asked several questions. He should have seen the e-mail today if he was in the office. As of a few minutes ago, still no response. Will wait and see but I, for one, do not intend to let up for a minute. --------------------All the Best: Mick Link to comment

Today I am more than a bit frustrated. Richard Adams did respond to the e-mail I sent, requesting information about several issues. He did confirm that more cases had been received since Owen and I were there on the 10th and that these cases were "being processed". The bad news, at least for us, was that he had no new info on our case. The computer still shows the January 13 resubmit and that's it. Don't know if that means it hasn't been received or if it just hasn't been entered. I didn't ask him about the mail issue as all that broke loose after I had e-mailed him. I agree with the statement you made in another thread. They only seem to respond to boot leather, so we need to keep applying it. Link to comment

Shoulder has recovered from the bus accident but the ribs are still sore. Wake me up at night when I roll over on them. All in all though, I came out of it pretty lucky. It could have been one hell of a lot worse. Did see a Doc. All he did was press around on me, cause more pain, take a batch of x-rays, take my money, and pronounce that I had severely bruised ribs......Duh..... Link to comment
Joseph-1 Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 I think the only real solution to Guangzhou's "Problem" is to take a dozen federal marshals in and arrest the lot of them. Link to comment
