Deb,

Good question.  I think it is only worth doing if we can actually get some
media attention with it - i.e. profile for GREN and knowledge that our
efforts might make a difference.  I worry at this point the candidates are
so far into the campaign and there is only three weeks until May 2nd that
they won't have time to answer it and by the time we get any answers back we
won't have much time to do anything with it.

I'll cc some other folks here and see what they think.  Did it come up at
the meeting last night at all?

Kevin.
