Is anything being done? If not, we need to start something immediately. I may be in Texas but we have plenty of RENTheads. I promise you if I mention Jonathan Larson working there, I can get quite a few more into the fray to help. I don't know about you guys but I refuse to go down with out a fight! So other than the typical petition (which wouldn't hurt), what else can we do? Ideas anyone?
