[Dixielandjazz] Delta Queen under attack--AGAIN

[BillSargentDrums at aol.com]

Please forward this to as many people you can:
 
<<The Delta Queen must cease her long-distance voyages in  November
2008 unless an exemption can be obtained from a federal  law
forbidding wooden superstructures on vessels that carry 50
or more  passengers on overnight trips, according to
Majestic America Line, which owns  the boat.

Since the law went into effect 40 years ago, Congress  has
repeatedly exempted the Queen. But this year, Oberstar,
Minnesota's  Eighth District congressman and powerful
chairman of the House Transportation  and Infrastructure
Committee, has blocked it. In previous years, and  as
recently as last year, Oberstar has voted at least twice to
support the  Queen's exemption. 
 
The very real threat to the Delta Queen's future has
provoked an  outpouring of support from her legions of
devoted fans. "She is a true  American classic," says
Jonathon Tschiggfrie of St. Paul, who has posted a  video
about the issue on YouTube.
