Is this our America?

09/21/2007

Dear Friends,

I usually stick to state issues and don’t make public comments about other political and policy issues, but I feel compelled to do so in this instance.

The following was distributed by Bob Maegerlein via Joe and Elaine Mayer. It is disturbing, to say the least.

I hope you will all view the video and read the links, then distribute them as you think appropriate.

This is a call for courageous political leadership. We need it now more than ever.

Warm regards,
Tina Liebling
