2. I WISH

That I didnt live so far away,I would go for sure.I think that John Conyers deserves a medal.Too bad he is about the only one who has the balls to stand up to the criminals running this administration and he is getting no help from any of his friends or supporters.
Everyone bitches about all the problems this country has and then they go home ,have a beer and say oh well.
What ever happened to the people from the 60's who stood up for what they believed in and marched in the streets 100,000 at a time.Where are all the baby boomers that bush and his criminal base are destroying???Will they wake up when they end up with no rights and no ss????
