Mr. Amos Maki, who wrote the article published in today's online edition of The Commercial Appeal about the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) that was mentioned in previous posts, is apparently a business reporter. I called the Commercial Appeal and was told that any news tips concerning the SRLC should be sent to David Waters. His e-mail address is waters@commercialappeal.com.

Please e-mail Mr. Waters about Cong. Tancredo's exclusion from the SRLC. The SRLC is being held in Memphis. If a Memphis newspaper, The Commercial Appeal, would write a story while the conference is ongoing about Cong. Tancredo's exclusion from the conference, it would be very signficant.

Thanks to everyone that has given help regarding the SRLC.
