Hello, everyone,
There is a great deal going on in the lighthouse community. Your help is always needed.

OKAY...IT'S TIME TO BLAST THE AIR WAVES WITH ALL WE'VE GOT!! E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS NEEDED!!!

I also suggest that everyone contact your own Representative. You might want to remind them that Walter Jones initially tried to take the lighthouse by going under the table in the dark of the night. And if he eventually gets his way...he may make a few 100 people happy in one of the smallest counties in North Carolina...but he will piss off 1000's of other voters all over the United States. (Meaning...all the folks in the lighthouse community!)
