Dear Walter...It is so inspiring to hear of the tremendous turn out and the amazing roster of spokespeople there at the Albany rally. How I wish I could have been there...ANd I know so many others who a wish they, too , could be among the strong voices for a safe . clean watershed and countryside. I began to wonder if there coouldnt be a way of having those of us that, for all our various reasons could not attend, still be seen. I'm wondering if each marcher present at rallys could hold a sign that represents us, by the hundreds and thousands. Those that write and say...I AM THERE IN SPIRIT !! could we ,also, be at least a name on a sign, that some blessed person, able to attend and carry...saying WE, THE HUNDRED THAT CANNOT BE HERE IN THE FLESH>< WE ARE HERE IN SPIRIT. If each attendee carries a sign, saying I REPRESENT 50 more.... IF a rally is to begin at 12:00 in ALbany, we in Ithaca can all shout out loud! honk our horns! bang our pots! Clang out bells! as individuals or in small groups or mini rallies in our towns....till the whole of New York State hears our words! and feels our passion for the salvation of our Planet. You are a great hero in our time, Walter. Thank you for taking your time and making such good use of it. Thank you for inspiring others to be heroic too! Bless the work fo your hands , Walter. Respectfully, A. Alexander
