Re: Maine Governor's e-mail address

[Nita Andres <andres2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I definitely agree with Bob. Governors have their hands full at best. A lot of 
e-mails, calls or
letters from us , would only be an annoyance, and if it did anything it would 
harm Ivan's cause.( I
doubt that it would do a thing, though.) Unless you are from Maine, he does not 
work for you and you
could not vote for or against him.  Nita
