May I admit my confusion...are we to call Mary Dettloff 517-335-3014 and ask to have this Broadcast over other Television Stations in addition to that which is posted above?

What about compiling a list of questions with slight wording changes, than submitted by more than one in order to try and improve the likelihood of getting an answer?

I suppose you could if you really wanted it broadcast somewhere else.

Sounds good.
Suggestions?
Volunteers?
