  • Dear Howard & Bill,
    I thought that you would want to read this forwarded mail. I think that we
    should all take this seriously. The damn government is not of the people or
    for the people. This is just another way of bilking us, so a few power happy
    people can pocket some more of our money. Please write your congressmen and
    senators.
    I hope that all is well with the two of you and that your health is good.
    We are enjoying superb weather and I would like nothing better than to leave
    this office and bask in the sun. Love, Pat.
