Thank you for your concern about saving the DELTA QUEEN. I'm a member of a recently formed grassroots effort to SAVE THE DELTA QUEEN. She must be saved as she is, traveling up and down the Mississippi River system, not tethered somewhere permanently to die a slow death. It seems Congress's reluctance to grant an exemption this year, after doing so every 10 years or so for the last 40 years is because the new company that bought the DELTA QUEEN last year did not hire Seafarer International Union labor this year. So it appears many of our Congressmen and Senators are owned by the unions. The Congressman from Minnesota, James L. Oberstar, Chairman of the Transportation Committee has informed Majestic America Line there is no way he will let an exemption be granted. So who is really running this country? Folks, now is the time for your to stand up and be heard. Don't delay, write today, to your Congressman and Senators and be heard loud and clear. SAVE THE DELTA QUEEN!

Thank you Aldermen, Mr. Coy, Mr. Byrne and the Mayor for your support to SAVE THE DELTA QUEEN. Could you please make sure Representative Steve Chabot's office in Washington has a copy of your signed Resolution? Your support is greatly appreciated. I can't wait to get back to your lovely city for a visit and hopefully it will be aboard the also lovely DELTA QUEEN!!!!
