41. Mr. Rich Ignores The Fact That Many Prominent Democrats
supported the reinsertion of the tube including Tom Harkin, the Reverand Jesse Jackson, Lanny Davis, and half of the Congressional Black Caucus...

The Eleventh Circuit Court voted 11-2 not to hear the case...The two dissenting votes were Democratic appointees...

Interestingly the only Democrat in the Florida senate to vote for the last bill to reinsert the tube was an African American state senator from Tallahassee...


I have a theory why so many of my black brothers and sisters don't want to remove the tube... They know a thing or two about being vulnerable...

Here's a line from the Bob Dylan song Joey...

"His closest friends were black men 'cause they seemed to
understand
What it's like to be in society with a shackle on your hand."

Sums it all up....
