[QUOTE=bhatnasx]Thanks for the support - I've written a letter which I will be mailing this week to the local newspapers (DCA & PIT) as well as the corporate officers of the involved companies. I will fill out the web submission forms of that were provided above. Thanks for the advice & support, everyone.

bhatnasx,
If you haven't already sent the letter out, I recommend that you call the editor at each paper and let them know that you're sending them a letter. They might actually spend some time chatting about the story, and will be looking out for your letter when it arrives.

If you've sent the letter, call anyway, to confirm receipt. Sometimes correspondence sits for a few days, and the ability to strike while the iron's hot is lost.

Sad as it is, this is a story that has a certain time sensitivity.
