Every so often, we’ll get a request from a listener to post a specific item that means a great deal to them. This is one of those times.

A fellow named “Sparkydunc” from our chatroom, sent the image you see at the left along to me last night, and asked me to pass it along to you. Click on the image to read it full size.

You won’t have to wait in a long line at the movie theatre. You won’t have to spend money on over-priced popcorn. And, you won’t have to wonder what that smell is in the bathroom! All it takes is a phone, and a few minutes of your day to let your Congress critter know that art imitating life isn’t always a good thing.

Thanks for passing this along, Sparky!
