29. Now, why isn't the state looking for him? Instead of flying people to HI for Obama's BC?

I hope you can help organize people in your area to make law enforcement seek this young man out. I was talking to an officer who was sent to contact an elderly neighbor someone hadn't been able to raise on the phone and they were worried. It turned out she was okay but having phone trouble and didn't know it. He had made a welfare call, uniform and all.

That's what Sheriff Joe and his gang of misfits ought to be doing for the state of Arizona, not grandstanding. And the BP is flying overhead, probably looking for people. So can you guys get them to try to find him?

How sad is that, my dear Kali... CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2012 #1
