3. They sure know how to get those tax cuts for the rich

but when it comes to something for the poor and seniors forget about it.

His numbers may be in the 30's but they still do the party dirty work for him.

I'm making some more phone calls for those that have no voice -- the poor.

17. Thanks! I just phoned.
I re-read, "The Other America" a couple of months back. Not a lot has changed in many parts of this country. You're not a fanatic beggar! DU needs those who remind people of what it's all about - POLICY.
