1. Laws passed in 1918 stopped normal communication/mailing of views from the left - Bush |

no doubt would like to go back to those days (the USSC later said illegal but I doubt our current court would have a problem)
BTW - I posted in the "Democrats" forum the thought that Omaha's Mayor would be a good new Senator - rather than Bob Kerry - any thoughts on that idea?
