Please support H.R. 2410. Depleted Uranium needs to be looked at extensively. Don't let this be another agent orange. The troops and the people of Iraq need to know if we are exposing them to radiation. If you don't sign this then and we find out it is the DU that is causing all of the death and disfigurement then the blood of these children are on your hands not mine. Because I told you to. I have done the job of your constituent. I'm telling you what I think needs to be done. So do it or you better pray really hard that its not DU.

Josh Buckley Sikeston, MO

As team hosts for the Missouri State High School Basketball Championships in Columbia, we had the opportunity to spend time with the basketball players, coaches, cheerleaders and fans from Sikeston. These people were distinguished representatives of your fine community, and you should be proud of the excellent impression they made in Columbia.

Mr. Brent Keefer, as athletic director, exemplified the best in his supervision of the team and student body during their stay in Columbia. The student body, in particular, should be proud of the way they conducted themselves during the intense competition of a final state game. And last, but not least, Coach Greg Holifield, in showing his basketball acumen and steady guiding hand to a great group of young men.

Congratulations to the town, the high school, and most importantly, THE TEAM!!!!! We hope to see the Bulldogs back again for future Show-Me Show Downs.

Jim Chandler and Jim Gephardt Team Hosts
