Yeah well, I don't feel too overwhelmingly sorry for patriotic volunteers who let illegal aliens sneak in the back door to scrub toilets at Walmart.
Make your career choice and weigh the good and bads.

Thank God for our Civil Right to free speech - allowing us to communicate our thoughts openly to our fellow man. Thank God for the intelligent individual that holds these "communications" up for scrutiny before accepting them into action. My heart goes out to each and every serviceman (and woman) whose life is darkened by PTSD. As a survivor of a violent crime myself, I know how terribly disabling these things can be.

The author of that internal email was obviously trying to conserve our tax dollars. In that same vein why don't we just feed our troops every other day and start saving money right away?

On October 10, 2002, Shelley Berkley was among the 81 House Democrats who voted in favor of authorizing the invasion of Iraq.

Yes Congress Shelly Berkley must authorize this invasion.

Because of her power to do so many Americans soldiers have died there minds forced into horrible things to see and lost limbs.

Many of our wonderful soldiers have not had the chance to grow old or have children because of her personal vendetta of others who are not as powerful and human as she is.

If Congress Shelly Berkley was not so supported of her favorite personal Country Israel our beloved American would not be involved.

Shelley Berkley

Shelley Berkley said it all when she tried to explain how "business is done" in Las Vegas. She said you have to make campaign contributions to judges so they can fix tickets, and reduce demerit points for employees. This is the type of representative the citizens of Nevada elected to the Congress in 1998. She is now running for re-election -- she MUST be stopped! She believes all politicians should do business through bribery. Get her out of office!

Here are Ms. Berkley's thoughts about Yvonne Atkinson Gates:
"The one thing Gates cares more about than her politics is - money. Yvonne wants money. She wants a business."

It's time to stop the political career of Yvonne Atkinson Gates and Shelley Berkley before they do more damage.
