I agree. Dr. Franklin was a wise man.

Many do not recognize the liberties we have lost in the last seven years. It began before 9/11. In addition to the 30 percent of our manufacturing jobs that have been exported to other countries, we have lost the privacy of telecommunications (phone, email, fax), the right to travel by air with a tiny bottle of shampoo or a plastic comb, and more. I'm tired of their telling us we have to make tough choices. The toughest choice is right there: Do we settle for less or do we stand up and say we can all have the American dream again? This year will be when we either make the choice or give up.
Amen
At our fundraising last night we raised $2600 in Obama bucks for the campaign. I was pretty happy with that, as it came from less than two hundred people total. Lots of fives and tens.
