The policy points in the AROS platform and the Camin article are very similar.Rebecca deCocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168718846105012814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-4578929950026727102015-08-31T17:46:02.595-04:002015-08-31T17:46:02.595-04:00I sent a link to the report to my local representa...I sent a link to the report to my local representatives and suggest others do so as well, particularly those who support charters.
