I usually don't do this, but I met this man on the CFI cruise to the western Caribbean last fall. He is a retired physician, internist to be exact, and a rational pleasant guy. He is running for congress, but in Virginia. He is Wynne LeGrow and he is trying replace the republican from that district Forbes. If interested you can go to his site at legrowforcongress.com. If you can help him out with a little donation that would be appreciated. I think we need more rational people in congress, even if it is in a different state. I am sending him a little donation.

Quote of the Month
March Quote:
Education on the value of free speech and the other freedoms reserved by the Bill of Rights, about what happens when you don't have them, and about howto exercise and protect them, should be an essential prerequisite for being an American citizen-or indeed a citizen of any nation, the more so to the degree that such rights remain unprotected. If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. (Carl Sagan, Demon Haunted World)

Check us out and feel free to call our office if you have any questions or ideas. I think you'll soon find out that Dr. LeGrow would certainly be a welcome change from business-as-usual in Washington.
