I wanted to reiterate my strong opposition to the sale of the Power Marketing Administrations. Until someone can show me some real benefits of privatization, I will continue to oppose the sale of the PMA's. The Power Marketing Administration's deliver a critically important service to a large portion of the Nation. They are an example of what's right with Government. It seems ironic and very ill advised that they should be put on the auction block and I will not stand for any wholesale dismantling of the PMA system.
