A suggestion ...

I'd like to make a suggestion to the members of the SSI_list list...

Americans are being given a small tax rebate by our illustrious
government. I plan to endorse my check for $300 over to "National
Aeronautics and Space Administration" and send it back to Washington.
I'll include a request that the funds be applied to the completion of
the space station per the designed configuration.

I suspect they'll send my check back to me with some lame excuse that
they can't accept funds in this way. Regardless, I hope that this small
act will demonstrate one American's desire to complete the station as planned.

I would like to invite each member of this list, as well as all your
friends and associates, to follow my example. If money "talks," maybe
our combined "statement" may actually make a difference.

The total funds being returned in the tax rebate is approximately $39
billion. Maybe if enough Americans follow our example we'll end up with
the additional $4 billion necessary to complete the space station as
designed.

All my letters to congress and the white house have fallen on deaf ears.
Please join me in making a statement that might be heard.
