" Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead " I am sometimes asked, 'Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?' I answer, 'I am working at the roots.' " ~ George T. Angell " The moral progress of a nation can best be judged by the way it treats its animals. " ~ Mahatma Gandhi

For background see: Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF) (Non-Partisan) Free Compean and Ramos "... [Citizens] expressed bitter disappointment [Friday, November 25, 2007], that President Bush did not use the Thanksgiving holiday to pardon two U.S. border agents who have been imprisoned for a year for shooting and injuring a man now accused of drug smuggling. "'We had hoped that President Bush, who was compassionate enough to pardon two turkeys in the Rose Garden, might also have had enough compassion to pardon two law enforcement officers who spent their lives defending us at the border,' said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach)." [multiple page continuing thread] |

Do you think that 2 states should play such a large factor in determining who will be each party's nominee (NH and Iowa) ???
or Should there be one National Primary Day where all states have voting on the same day? |
