22. Sorry to hear of your plight, but let me say I am

Grateful for your involvement.

One of the very few in public office always willing to stand up for the environment and for a non-toxic lifestyle for us "real" people was Elliot Spitzer.

And we all know what happened to him. After he pulled off such admirable actions as fining Monsanto for false advertising (Monsanto had no right to state certain products were "safe,&quot he gets followed by Homeland Security,. And the entire apparatus of Homeland Security is used to detail his bank transactions, one of which led DHS to the fact that he wired money to the Washington DC brothel.

Little concern to anyone that a whole roster of politicians went to that brothel. What was important is that the Monied and Political class got rid of the "real" people's one and perhaps only protector.

Almost everyone else in public office only cares about the "real people" that are Big Corporations.
