Co-Sponsors of the bill are, so far: Representatives W. Todd Akin (MO), <br />Richard H. Baker (LA), Marsha Blackburn {TN), Wm. Lacy Clay (MO), Jo Ann Emerson (MO), Kenny <br />C. Hulshof (MO), Ron Kind (WI), Jean Schmidt (OH), Timothy J.

We need <br />their help, so please be polite, but let them know how important it is for you and your community to <br />keep the Delta Queen running. <br />- If you know a Representative willing to co-sponsor the bill, please contact Rep. Steve Chabot's office <br />in Washington (Anna Rack (202) 225-2216). The more support the bill gets, toe better the chances to get <br />it through the Congress.

Every politician and company manager thinking of grounding <br />the Delta Queen should be forced to read this eye-opening article to see what he is doing to the people <br />living along the rivers when taking the Delta Queen away from them. <br />And it's not about romantic feelings when a steamboat is coming 'round the bend. It's about business <br />and it's about jobs - a lot of business and jobs for these river towns. <br />5 Comments » <br />http://www.save-the-delta-queen.org/ 10/26/2007 <br />
