In case you haven’t heard, on August 14th, 2007 Kansas Representative Dennis Moore and Kansas Senator Pat Roberts met for a little “kaffeeklatch” at Johnson County Community College (JCCC) near Kansas City, Kansas. It was an attempt at bipartisanship - - a blue dog Dem talking with a Repub - - trying to make all the problems go away. They sat and talked about nothing for about an hour and a half. They took questions from the audience that were written on postcards and screened by the evening’s moderator - - who made sure that all questions asked of the gentlemen in public were totally inane. You all know the view of the American public on the Iraq war - - an overwhelming majority want it OVER - - and there was NOT ONE WORD mentioned about the w-a-r.
Well, about 9pm as they were wrapping up, there was a sudden unveiling of the truth! The audience heard a “thud-thud-thud” and turned around to find to the dismay of Moore and Roberts, no doubt, a HUGE banner which you see in the picture.
Kaedden [last name unknown], an employee of JCCC, willingly “fell on his sword,” as activist David Quinly put it. He knew he would be fired from his job working for the theater at JCCC, but still climbed up on the catwalk to push the banner out so everyone could see it. He was taken to the Security office and questioned for about an hour. David asked him later if he had been water-boarded or otherwise tortured. Kaedden wasn’t sure if they would press charges of any type. He said that the college threatened to “ban” him from the campus. We were ready to post bail!
Hopefully, this may help to open some folks’ eyes.

Hooray for the guys that did this.
They should be so proud even if they get actions taken against them. This is just as good as free way blogging. May everyone get up enough nerve to be heard!! Praise God 
I hope they got the message and impeach them War Criminals.
God Bless.
I hope they got the message too, but I seriously doubt it. We all know how most of these politicians feel. It is evident in their actions. Look at all the scandals coming out of Washington anymore.
All they care about is their paychecks, and whatever lobbyists pay them care to about. The days of the honest politician who actually listens to what his or her constituency want are long since past, sadly enough.
They just plug their ears
stuff the money in their wallets, and go on. It makes me so angry thinking about it, 
that I just want to my tear my hair out 
After all, we put them there, and this is how they repay us?

See the response I left for you with regards to the question you ask about NDSP-51. I incorrectly spelled it and left some links for you and others to read on it.
God Bless.
How about an update static?
God Bless.
HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND . LOVE YOUR SMILIES.
