   Your letter to the editor:  [Please personalize your letter!]	Dear Editor: Thank you for your editorial, "Walked to Death" (Thursday, June 9, 2005). Legislators are elected to represent California's citizens; their job is to vote yes or no on our behalf. When legislators don't vote, and good environmental bills go down to defeat, eventually everyone loses. Assemblymembers have a responsibility not only to their district but also to California as a whole. These missed votes affect all Californians; Assemblymembers should vote on every bill. Sincerely,
   Your first name (& middle if desired):
   Your last name:
   Your city:
   Your state:
