I received this email from my MIL this morning. I told her about this mess a few days ago and she is up in arms! She has been calling everybody & she sent me this email this morning & I think she has already called this office. Sorry if someone already posted this but I felt it was worth reposting if it has been.

she sent me:

You need to call the office of Congressman Dan Lungren. He is looking for stories about how this new law is going to adversly effctive small businesses. They are having a meeting soon and he needs by Friday. 916/859-9906 X 105 Ask for Alexandra. I am going to call tomorrow morning when I get to the office. Can't hurt.

do you have an address? I prefer writing as letters have to be logged in and filed unlike phone calls.
