Well, for my money, our elected officials won't know what to do unless we tell them.
I have written to John Anderson. I have also contacted the AFAP, and they say the issue is very much alive. They have my letter saying 'hey, whats up, what are we going to do about it...'
Nothing is more irritating than a whinger that does nothing to fix the problem he/she is complaining about. So unless you 'pudknockers' start writing letters to the people who can do something about it, you may as well get ready to hand over your $200.
