Email McCain here. Every voice actually HEARD from is worth a hundred silent voices.

Here's the email I sent:

Re: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act*****

Dear Senator McCain: I have been following the saga of Kennewick Man for years now, and was very relieved when it turned out that Kennewick Man could finally be studied properly. I am interested in archaeology and anththropology, but mostly I am interested in finding the truth of our human history. However, I have heard that you are sponsoring a re-wording of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act which will change things again so that tribes can demand the repatriation of remains, EVEN if they cannot establish a genetic or historic link to the remains. I hope that this is not true, and that you are NOT changing the wording so that can take place. I'm sure you are aware that many people are not interested in historic truth, but simply in furthering their own agendas, and that this re-wording would play right into their hands. I voted Republican for defense but am liberal in many matters. Basically, I am right in your demographic group should you choose to run for President in '08. However, I could not support a candidate whom I did not perceive to be on the side of truth, wherever that truth might lead. Please make sure that pre-historic remains such as Kennewick Man remain available to be studied by qualified scientists.

Excellent.

SunkenCiv, would you be interested in leading a campaign to write Mc Cain as has FReeper Hetty_Fauxvert as in post number 30 above. I will consider sponsoring any reasonable funding required for this effort(approval required before each funding event).

On second thought, wouldn't it be more effective if we wrote all the senators?
