[Tech] Fwd: Womag article

[Gracegrnrnbw at aol.com]

colby - thanks - I miss getting to talk strategy- that has been mmy strategy 
and I am sticking with it.   tired of being whipping post.   And everyone 
seems to have missed - at this point the problem is that this is labelled as part 
of "the election guide" not the newsletter - which I have gotten people to 
understand.

I am trying to get it labelled more clearly on the website as "newsletter" 
NOT "election guide - Thanks, Grace
