18	Jim Denham
19	Vern Drake	It's my understanding that pure politics have come into play regarding the DQ and Jim Oberstar should be ashamed of himself. The idea of depriving millions of people of seeing and experiencing this important piece of history, so that he can placate a few union hacks is despicable.

21	Forrest Wilkinson	Hello to everyone wishing to Save The Delta Queen. Forrest Wilkinson here. I hope to keep this a list of Minnesota Citizens who wish to sign their name (and ideally town) to the above petition. The Delta Queen Deserves a presidential pardon. That is what this is about, no more and no less. I appreciate all who visit, but this is not meant to be a vehicle for any discussion beyond that. If you wish to help, please make use of the DONATE button on the mn4dq.org website. Thank you very much. Forrest Forest Lake Minnesota
22	Forrest Wilkinson	And please drop me an e-note no mater where you are from! Forrest C. Wilkinson Forest Lake Minnesota

25	Matthew	I find it funny that Congressmen Oberstar has taken upon himself to solve this (non)"problem" when there are clearly MUCH MORE IMPORTANT matters in need of address (cough cough government corruption). It is not the Delta Queen that should need defend its right to exist, but Mr. Oberstar's use and value to the American populace that should come into question. This whole matter stinks to high heaven.
26	Clay Buchanan
27	Fred C. Dobbs	Mr. Oberstar is way off base in his attempt to kill the Delta Queen, a move that clearly show this pawn of the union to be the puppet he really is. Come on Jim, show some guts and remove your opposition! The Delta Queen is far safer than Jimmy Oberstar's own home. Does he have a sprinkler system, fire retardent paint and a watchman walking around his souse to report any fires that start? Looks to me like Minnesotans should refuse to send Jimmy Oberstar back to DC next election! What a jerk! SAVE THE DQ!

30	sally muse	My Father, Fred Barrows, was her Chief Engineer on her in the '60's She is a very very big part of my life, and I am doing everything I can to help save her. This really breaks my heart, and to think that he has to do with politics!!
31	Robert G. Reynolds	The DELTA QUEEN is safe. I have travelled thousands of miles on this boat and lived on her for five years and would not hesitate to take a cruise. Please grant a permanent exemtion from SOLAS.
32	Erica Schuenemann
33	Mark Page
34	steve wagner	This boat poses no danger to passengers and represents a historical icon in MN. Keep it!
35	Mr. Gale Holmstadt	Don't let my childrens' heritage become a victim of Big Union politics.
36	Aaron Johnson
37	Chris Green	The fact that this even has to be done to keep this vessel in business is a sad comentary on what our great country is becoming. They have done everything possible to make this vessel as safe as possible and I would not hesitate to travel aboard it any time. This needs to be solved once and for all, so as long as this vessel is properly maintained it will be available to provide passage on the river.

39	kevin masterman	tell Oberstar and the other politicains to think of our history and heritage and not his pocket book.
40	James T McCabe
41	Greg Page	The Delta Queen is a historical treasure that needs to be saved. We can not afford to deprive anyone of seeing her or riding her on the mighty Mississippi - especially our younger generations. Too much of American history is being lost these days!

44	Carol Price	I have seen the Delta Queen as I was traveling into St. Paul - a breath-taking sight. That other Minnesotans and/or union members and government supporters would viciously attempt to take the DQ from the Mississippi is shameful - greed and vengence is their ownly justification - not safety - and they know it. They would deprive the public of the thrill of a trip on the DQ is shameful. Sign that 10th exemption!!!!

46	Don and Alice Blystone	Let's save the Queen. She is too important to be lost just because of one man.
47	Nancy	Save this national treasure!
48	Vicki Lopez
49	Chris Elmquist	Stop letting Left Wing government and the greedy lawyers who fund it from stealing the history and heritage of this country.
50	Kevin Selvig	The Delta Queen is a wonderfull american icon that should be allowed to continue overnight operations!!
