Cohousing-L Mailing List: Celebrate a National Concensus

[Thomas Lofft (tlofft]

This morning, the U S House of Representatives, ostensibly 435 members 
representing 50 individual states, the distinct constituencies of 435 separate 
House Districts, and hopefully, the best interests of all citizens and 
residents of the entire 310+/- million population of this magnificent nation, 
all approved a significant legislative bill by unaminous consent, either by 
affirmation or absence or abstention.  I didn't count the vote.
 
This is an opportunity for every cohousing member to write a personal letter 
(or e-mail if you no longer have stamps in your budget) to their own House 
Representative and congratulate them for their effort and achievement.  It is 
also a prime opportunity to point out that your community seeks to do this for 
every decision and action on a committed communitarian basis and encourage them 
to do likewise. Then move forward to lobby for whatever else your political 
soul inclines you to do.
 
Cheers, best wishes, and fond hopes for the most wonderful holiday season of 
the year,
