<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kiyardo, post: 407208, member: 1920&quot;]I met Beth Deisher at the ANA Show in Baltimore a couple days ago and chatted with her about the National Parks legislation. She made a suggestion in one of her editorials that Theodore Roosevelt be honored on the quarter for that series. I agree with her and so does Peter King. She said the most opposition will come from my commonwealth (Virginia) So, I wrote emails to all three of my representatives (Congressman and Senators) I encourage you all to join me in this effort. Here is my letter to Warner, My letter to Webb was just more straight to the point, since I disagree with him the most politically. ehehe</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Dear Senator Warner,</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I have had the honor to have voted for you each time you&#039;ve run for re-election. I want to thank you for your service and especially for what you have done to help ease our federal tax burden. I wish you all the best in retirement.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>There is one minor issue where we may have a disagreement. It was my understanding that the entire Virginia delegation made a stipulation that Monticello return to the nickel after the Westward Journey Nickel series ended. I love our Virginia heritage and without a doubt, Virginia has the most attention with regards to subject matter on our nation&#039;s coinage. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Most believe as I that George Washington&#039;s time is up on the Quarter Dollar. He has been honored there since 1932, and before that in medals and countless other monuments, etc. He is on our paper dollar note and the first in the new Presidential Dollar coins. Rep. Peter King (R) of New York has suggested that for the looming National Parks legislation that Teddy Roosevelt be honored on our Quarter at least for this series considering that it was he who was instrumental for the National Park Service. He is the only President carved in a mountain in South Dakota not honored on a coin. Please propose an ammendment on the bill to include Teddy on the front in the Senate version. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Thank you Sir.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
