38. If anyone is interested in helping bobbolink with his fight to stop the demolitions
He's suggested that you contact Air America to get some more media coverage on this issue. They can be reached at:

http://airamerica.com/contact OR
comment@airamerica.com

You can also reach Congresswoman Maxine Waters (is this woman too damn cute or what??!) at http://www.house.gov/waters/IMA/issue.htm OR http://www.house.gov/waters/contact /

This has probably become my favorite OP that I've ever created here on DU. I'm happy to see that something is being done that can affect so many people's lives.
