Thanks for posting the email IDs to the different media publications on the blog so we can contact them, based on the excellent suggestion of Shri Sundaram Swamy. Could I also request that you do the following

1) Publish a list of email IDs for politicians/ political offices so we can email them too. They will probably be more sympathetic than media at this stage

2) Give us a standard letter that we can send to them, with a section to add our own personal experiences. This needs to be worded right and have the blessings of the senior people that understand the situation well so we don't contradict facts.

3) If possible, help automate the sending of this letter to all the media and political addresses through the Web.. Here are some examples of how it is done
