Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4391 (SPECIAL QUOTE)

----
That quote is worth sharing, James.  And very timely.  I was watching C-SPAN
last night.  Ross Perot was addressing an assembly of folks in his United We
Stand organization in MD.  I wish I had taped the "facts" he quoted about us
being sold down the river.  I just wrote a letter to UWS, asking for an
application for membership.

I called our local tax payers association and will be joining them as well.
Why?  As the country knows, Califronia is in a depression.  We, too, have been
sold down the river.  We had an vote, a few days ago, regarding stopping local
funding being sent to the state, and if we wanted a special assessment to
protect our fire departments.  The first issue was yes, the second, no.

Prior to the vote, I called the supervisor's office and the office of personnel
to find out exactly how much fire folks make.  To my amazement, a starting fire
person earns $3,2xx. per month and a $99x. benefits package.  Just add that up.
That's a starting wage of over $4,000.00 a month.  That's not right!

With all this equipment laying around here, and my knowledge, I can set up an
automated blizzard that will choke them to death until they comply.  They all
have faxes.  I can fax them every evening with a demand.  They all receive
mail.  I can auto-mail the whole lot for pennies--again, with demands.  I will
focus each demand around the platforms presented to me by UWS and the tax
payers association.  I will also publish what works and what does not and how
to set up your own blizzard.

Good quote, James... thanks!  -Rick-
