RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] what majority wants Bush?

["F Vernon Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

What would be the problem with this Mike? I think any laws passed at the
federal government level in these instances is wrong. I am not a pro-lifer,
I am actually for choice, I think I have said that before.

I don't like a centralized government, I think different states having
different laws is quite alright. Where do you think your voice is stronger
the federal level? State Level? County Level? I think in cases where
standards must be met, like transportation between states the federal
government has a place. The federal government is just too easy for someone
with a deep pocket to get what they want. 

This could also be blamed on the quality of elected officials we bring to
office. They are all prostitutes for the most part. They don't go there and
lead, they go there, suck up PAC money and pass laws that effect everyone.
You should think about some of the laws that get passed because everytime
there is a new law passed just a few more of your liberties are taken away.
Oh and both Republicans and Democrats have the same problems.
