built this country. For example in Iowa where I grew up the REA comes to mind first - without them we would not have had electric power. Then there are all kinds of farm coops from fuel companies to feed companies. Most still exist.

Several weeks ago the local electric company sent me a letter as the oldest living member of my family. They were going through their records and found that my grandfather had bought a $13 membership in 1939 and it had never been turned in. It wasn't worth anything but they needed to get it off their books.

Now the corporations and the Rs no longer want to recognize their contribution. Not surprising.

Happy holidays.
