I sent in support letters a long time ago when they asked for them. Is it ok to send more?
I just don't want them accusing anyone or group of "stuffing" the ballot box.

I got an emailed response from Mike Nelson thanking me for my input and saying he will consider it when he votes on the project. No hint on whether he will support it or not, though.
