since it's stretching the TCLUG mission perhaps, but I'm
hoping some of you might appreciate a gentle suggestion to put
your opinion into an email, whatever that might be. The horse
may be out of the barn for Klobuchar on this issue, but
sometimes it helps anyway to write a thoughtful letter. If you
agree with her you can send her a thank you note. ;)</div>

degree, because we can import someone to do the job for
less,” we could do significant long-term damage to the
high-tech educational system we value so dearly.</span><br>
