Have you or anyone you know sent or received a "Thank You" letter? If so, can you give us a 'for instance?' It has been a long time. People don't bother to take the time anymore. Heck, I gave thank you cards to 2 co-workers who gave me little gifts.

Electing an honest politician that will actually help us.
