Subject: 338 BILLION - WOW
Boy am I confused.  I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and  the war on terror that is bankrupting us.

I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they  are read so  many times that the reader gets sick of reading them.  Included are the URL's for verification of  all the following facts.

If  this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand,  if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to  every legal resident in the country including every representative in  Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some  semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

Elections  are coming up.  Is there anyone running for office that could or would  make a difference?  Think about it when you  vote.

 The foregoing is from an e-mail I received from a friend, Laura, and bears showing more folks than my e-mail can alert.  Folks, this is a wake up call.  Who are we electing?  This upcoming election we are electing more than POTUS, we are electing the people who are writing spending bills.  Look carefully at the voting records of your state and federal legislature members, and place your vote carefully.  The linked articles are beyond disturbing.  We are being invaded, and the government is not only NOT protecting us, the government is aiding and abetting the enemy.  Let's be careful who we vote for this time!  As Abraham Lincoln said, " No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent.
