1. Hey--don't be blaming us folks "downstate" for Hyde!
Eeeew....


:puke:

A little factoid about Hyde and my personal history: The first time my parents realized I was politically active was when they saw me on TV holding a mock trial in the U of I student union for Henry Hyde for his stance on women's choice. We highlighted in his trial the fact that Hyde's work to outlaw Medicaid funding for abortions actually TRIPLED the number of women reported by the CDC as dying from abortion and complications from un-sterile abortion conditions. Mom was a bit "surprised" to see me on the news at 6.
