dear senator boxer,

i am your constituent living with aids in Los Angeles. i am a member of beingALIVE, the grassroots self-help aids/hiv service organization here, and I publish a blog on the internet called: on the engines of enlightenment: journal of an aids shaman. i was very pleased to see you had joined senators clinton, lautenberg, schumer, corzine as well as senator feinstein in asking the government accountability office to provide information necessary to protect ryan white funding to large cities in the us with high incidence of hiv infection. thank you.

i will be coming to washington, dc in october to march with the campaign to end aids, and i am very excited about it. i have sent you some questions under a separate cover in that connection. i hope to be able to meet you.

thank you in advance for your time and attention and support. and thank you for all your work that has gone before.

sincerely,

richard kearns
