If anyone wants to write a letter-to-the-editor about whether or not Larry
Wilson should stay on, it's easy to send it to Dennis Ryerson, Vice
President and Editor of the Des Moines Register at [log in to unmask]

This might be just as important as writing to Governor-elect Vilsack.  From
all reports, Vilsack's office is swamped with hundreds if not thousands of
letters, applications, phone calls, etc. and they are struggling with a
small staff and little money.

The DM Register published 2 editorials supporting Larry Wilson and blaming
the legislator and current Governor for the current state of affairs.  They
think Larry Wilson will do better if given another chance.  My feeling is
we need
a new vision.

If you have an opinion, express it.
