Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 8805, member: 112"]As I said in my original post in this thread - Coin World did do a story - they did 2 in fact. The entire idea got started on Coin World's own coin forum. Numismatic News did a similar story. Coinage did two seperate interviews with me on this subject about 6 months apart. Coins did a story. I personally posted the links to the web site on every coin related forum on the internet - multiple times. I personally delivered the petitions to every member of Congress, the Vice President and the President. You can see the results it all achieved. Now I will admit - it did get the ball rolling. Since I started this campaign there have been numerous ideas proposed in Congress for coinage redesign. But quite frankly - it all backfired in my opinion. For Congressional members have chosen to use these ideas to further their own interests instead of the interest of the country's citizens. Why is this ? Simple - it's because the vast - and I do mean vast - majority of this countries citizens simply don't care. Now does that statement upset you - does it make you angry ? I hope so. Because if it does - perhaps you will take the time to voice your opinions and make them heard. And perhaps it will induce you to take the time to convince your friends, your family and maybe even perfect strangers to do the same thing. The US Govt. will listen - but only if you take the time to speak.[/QUOTE]
