Another message for Mr. Bush from an Alaskan...
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 06:15 PM by Blue_In_AK
I work as an independent contractor typing court transcripts. I e-mailed the woman I work with this afternoon to let her know I was going to be out of town for a few days at the peace demonstrations in Washington next month, and asked her if she had any message for me to carry to GWB. This is her reply (in large bold letters which I won't duplicate here):

"Tell him I'd like 10 percent of the good ol' war budget spent on health care funding to organize an insurance division for the self-employed and employed-but-not-insured citizens. That would be more than enough money. Hell, he could take us all out to dinner and still have billions left to incinerate innocent children around the world."

I think she gets it. :rofl:

3. Before you leave, give the woman a great big hug from all of us.
