I better do some more explaining ( for some reason I do this a lot lately) I
was asked to do a straw poll. Not everyone was there for the poll I might
have to do a repoll. Maybe if someone would come to our populas or our event
at the end of August that might help. There is a few that are definately
against but if I recall there is more that are not sure or don't care which
way it goes. I am going to tell you something that might help with some of
things being said from our people. Don't take it personally because it's not
ment to be. If it becomes known that we don't want to be part of the
Principality??? You know I need to think about that which way to go
(something to think about!!!)

Well You might want to know that the people who are for the Principality are
leaving after they graduate. The people that are permanant don't want it.
