Don't let it give you distress. (although I am very familiar with Rolaids and Maalox)

As we get closer to the November Elections.. you will see things you can not believe.

Today, I was watching a replay of the ALEC Meetings on-line. (American Legislative Exchange Council)

Koch Bros, Tucker Carlson, Zell Miller, Stephan Moore, Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan, .. you can't imagine a more disgusting congregation of right wing hacks and ideologs than the ALEC Conference... but there they were.. in all their glory... with massive Fox News support.

And the sad part is.. ALEC is dictating policy at every level of Congress and Senate. ALEC is controlling every aspect of life in America.

All we can do is keep posting on DU and get involved in our local voting process.. but it seems the Republicans are even attacking the right-to-vote with increasing success.

I don't know the answer.. I just go day to day. Hang in there.
