But the Sarasota Ds stuck with the Klan until 1971! Perhaps the last hold outs! By then I had become an R. On a side note, I have never met an "Animal Rights" person who was not "Pro Choice" on abortion. To save the fetuses have them declared "animals". -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
