Yes, being on board the Delta Queen is a very special time. You wrote that this is her last trip, but there are many of us working to make it just one more trip of many more to come. All she needs is for congress to pass her exemption from the Safety of Ships at Sea act, one they have passed many times in the past, but is now held hostage by one congressman and the seafarer's union. President Obama pledged to help save the Delta Queen in his campaign--it's time for him to step up to the plate and help save this piece of true American history--and the jobs that go along with her running--a no cost economic stimulus package! For this to happen we need YOUR help! Our cause has no deep pockets, just we the people, so email or call your congressional representatives and senators, AND the White House! For help in what to say, visit; www.save-the-delta-queen.org It's up to you to save the boat! Thank you for listening. David Dewey Oroville, CA --but my heart's on the River system onboard the DQ!
