We certainly need to do something. Does anyone know how many members, or
interested folks, there are in AL into contesting??? I am willing to help
out. I have lots of time. I know nothing about how to do a web page, I am
certainly NOT a big gun. But I do like to contest.
I talked to Bridgette sometime back and with their situation they are
looking for someone or some entity to take the AQP over.
Count me in on whatever is discussed.
