Re: Did anyone see Regan Jr. speak last night?

[Guest guest]

Well since you asked, and hopefully my answer won't get me tossed from the

list (oh well if it does it won't be the first time I've been kicked off a

list, or the last LOL)

What I know about it is G.W. Bush & the other repugs out there will never go

for this.

Even after all the wonderful things Bush had to say about Reagan, he

turned down flat when she asked for him to let things like this help

the sick people of the United States. Two Americas? You bet, and Bush &

his ilk doesn't care about you & me unless we are part of his great

fundraising machine.
