Hi TACT members,

I wish to thank the members of TACT for their interest and support of Rebecca Revels in here efforts to get a "fair deal" in the Miss NC contest.

If you have not followed the story on the news and website of WRAL or CNN, then you missed an interesting study in how the internet can impact rural areas.

Ms. Rebecca Revels is a member of the Lumbee tribe and is supported by our website at www.lumbee.org
We appreciate the linking in the RTPnet website as an online community.  

The efforts to keep up with the case on the news and the web have driven many people in our rural, low-income communities to the web that would never have considered going online.

In lieu of paying WRAL TV for a view of Ms. Revels, you can find many attractive photos of her on the website www.lumbee.org

Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

Ben Jacobs
