What the hell is going on in DC????( We pro-space people have got to fight too!)

I was shocked when I read the "From the Editor" article in Popular
Science, for the July 2003 issue. Pop Sci's editor Scott Mowbray was
lamenting about getting anti-mars mission letters! Just a few weeks
ago on the Space Show, Rand Simberg said that he thinks it is useless
to e-mail pro-space letters.

I must very strongly disagree with Rand.

Anti-Space people in yahoo groups like globenet and
are very well organized and have lots of people
out there actually protesting everything they don't like and writing
letters to everyone.

They are well organized and they will attack anyone or idea they see
as a threat. Right now they are going after CALSPACE and anyone who
has given them money. (See below)

Pro-Space Letters really do matter! Everything matters!
