Free speech has become un-American
I was selling my anti Bush tee shirts at a flea market today, when some man came into my booth and accused me of having a lot of un-American merchandise. I explained that it was anti-Bush and not anti-America. I love America. At least what America is supposed to be. He started yelling at me, accused me of voting for Clinton (to which I admitted freely) and told me I'd be sorry. I told him that at least, for now, in this country, I am allowed to have my opinion. I am more resolved than ever to do my part now.

If there is an election on November 2, we MUST all vote.
