I'll gladly grant you most of what you say. Understand that I support
the NRA. Heck, my wife and I spent a couple of grand at the FNRA banquet
last month in Vancouver. We appreciate the hell out of the 15 points or
so that the NRA helped gain in Washington state on I-676, but kindly
don't give credit for that win to them. Thousands of people gave very
freely of their time and money to get that done. The NRA was just a
small part. Give credit where credit is due, but don't go so far
overboard.

Thanks.
