Just a Thank You, etc…
Representative Crow,
I just wanted to thank you and your office person for contacting me - it means a lot to know I'm being heard. I joked you could now have a lunch meeting with Warren Buffett to get my question answered [1] But maybe that isn't as far-fetched as it sounds at first blush? Who knows, it could be the first of many meetings with Mr. Buffett. I've got high hopes Tom Mueller's book 'How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine' coming out August 1st could lead to a federal investigation? (a book I was interviewed for by the way). Am I dreaming? We may find out! But before the book comes out, I'm trying to give you a head start. Who better to go on a scouting mission than a Army Ranger and Congressman.
Besides my most recent question, you might be able to glean more from sources I may have already mentioned. I'll list them again below[2][3][4].

P.S. I used the previous online message I sent you in my Blog #12 as an example of what people could send their Federal reps.
