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.<br><br>I'll cc some other folks here and see what they think.
