learn how to post to the list! This kind of news is encouraging to all of 
us -- the first part, anyway.

If you watched the news last night or read today's paper you will see that 
the
police department is responding to the huge number of complaints from 
people
disturbed by loud motorcycles.  This is the work of two dedicated officers 
who
got the support of the West Precinct Captain to work on this issue.  They 
will
be bombarded by publicity that is in favor of the bikers.  In the media 
they
are portrayed as nice professionals out having a good safe time.  There is
little mentioned about the price to be paid by those in their path.  Please 
if
you have a moment today.  Send a letter, fax or email to newspapers, TV
stations, whatever you have time for in support of the police action.
Especially send a letter of support for these officers (Jason Kasner and
Stuart Coleman) to: 	Captain Tag Gleason
 	610 Third Avenue
 	Seattle, WA  98104
If we don't support them on this issue the pressure from the other side 
will
win and we will continue to suffer from illegal unwanted noise in our 
homes.

Thanks for helping out.

Cathryn
