Jerry, didn't realize you were keeping such specific tabs.

No problem.

Already had send a letter to my U.S. Senator, Lindsey Graham, here in SC, already got a letter back said that he would look into it. (he helped me with both my SSD claim and my Agent Orange claim, I have about 6 letters from him, so at least he has some connection to my name).

I need to do the same to our other Senator, who serves the eastern part of SC. Will try to get that done this week.

I fully support your efforts here, still a great idea. Though we are small in number, perhaps they will make some kind of connection to us a concerned group, perhaps enough to help.

Jerry, in regard to Alaska, I had a call from my daughter up near Anchorage two days ago.

After you started this thread, I contacted my Illinois senators, and my daughter contacted her Alaska senators. 

Two days ago she received a phone call from Senator Lisa Murkowski's office.  They said that thanks in part to her letter, Senator Murkowski would be co-sponsoring legislation to ensure that the PSA test remain an approved procedure.

Pretty cool, huh?

On the other hand, I got a rather generic email back from Sen. Mark Kirk, but nary a word from Sen. Dick Durbin.  (not surprised about that).

My daughter was understandably pretty excited.
