Hi Dave,

The letter you forwarded has really long URLs that made it hard to see the essentials of the argument.

Do you have a link to the heart of the matter? Thanks.

Also, beware that when you share these "action needed!" emails, they 
include your personal unsubscribe link at the end, and possibly a 
subscriber ID in all the internal links, so readers who click those 
could unsubscribe you or register your interest in something you don't 
care about. This isn't unique to this particular email. I see them in 
all kinds of political action mailing lists, including some big name 
ones. They all use the same mailing list vendors. A proper solution 
would be to provide a link to a website for sharing the critical 
information without giving away your own subscriber information.
