End the war and send the troops home to watch the borders and help put out the wildfires we don't have enough people for or doing other things.

It may cost a little more but we got jobs. -----Original Message----- From: Maureen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 4:11 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Moon I lived and taught college in the central Florida area for eight years.
