29. Thank you Mr. Reid
But as to why he did joined in - it was definately because I called for a 1/2 hour straight only to get through and be hung up on.

34. Thank you to Michael Moore
for showing in F/911 what happened in 2000, to make people aware of this process. Many did not know it happened.
I believe Sen. Boxer said she wished she had in 2000.

Rep. (Judge)Tubbs Jones and Sen. Boxer, thank you for giving us hope for our future. Bring this to the light of the public.

39. Reid just got the kind of 'backbone transplant' Daschle refused consistently
He's starting his Minority Leader incumbency on a proud, proud note. Ordinary voters will NOT be wondering what Harry Reid stands for.

I trust his wife is not a powerful corporate lobbyist, the way Daschle's wife put the airlines in bed with the Minority Leader.
