An Edited Version of my feelings on this letter...Well it's hard to edit since two close friends work in libraries, I respect and use libraries and I thought it was underhanded to try and sneak this by before the public could truly organize and react.

Dirty play, Strickland.

Sent my e-mail to 2 representatives and 2 senators, and told them that I VOTE. That's the only way that they will understand the will of the people.
