Re: Good Morning America

I am sure that Good Morning America has a WWW address and an E-mail internet
address.  If not GMA then the network news services that GMA is a part of
does.  If you want to get the word out send them E-mail.  I would suggest
that the E-mail be carefully considered and thought be put into the words
prior to pressing return.
