Are we THAT stupid?

If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message.  If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every elected representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week for  as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

We hope this causes you to think about what is going on with our Country, our State, our County and our Township. Do we want to end up like Europe or Central/South America? Have you lost your job and can't find a new one. Check out the employees hired by the contractors who will be doing the 'Federal Stimulus' heavy construction work on our roads and bridges. Soon we will be on the outside looking in and wondering what happened.
