I spend some time in that part of the world, and they had their sob stories. I know a lot of folks in Biloxi and Gulfport some were feeling pretty defeated and beaten down there were tears lots of tears. The press was more concerned about New Orleans. The press didn't seem to understand that Gulfport and Biloxi got flattened. The flood insurance wouldn't pay out because 6the houses had their roofs blown off. Flood insurance wouldn't pay because they were flooded by the surge tide. The Government didn't help because they weren't able to make as much noise as NOLA. Charities didn't help because they thought all the destruction was in NOLA.

Advocacy. Letting folks know, Net Gingrich engineered a huge take over of the house called the "Contract with America" Americans revolted and in the course of 4 years replaced a Democratic controlled House with a Republican Controlled one. A Democratic Controlled Senate with a Republican Controlled Senate. Impeached a Democratic President and ellected a Republican.

What Happened? The new guys turned into the same creeps we voted out. They controlled every thing but we still had the corruption of Delay, pushed more pork than the Democrats ever thought of , and never improved our energy policy. Shucks we elected a Republican president that would sign an assault weapons ban, and can't even say "nuclear". We would have had drilling on ANWAR anf florida if he held Congress feet to the fire. Instead we have $4.00 gas.

Is it hopeless? Admittedly things are at a low. Activisim such as what we observe through this board is pretty effective. I believe if we can get an effective third party thrown into the mix, It will have a positive effect on keeping the other two more honest. I need to stop supporting crooks who just because they belong to "our party" . We need to vote on folks, because of what they have done and their proven character , not because of how sweet talking they are, nor of their "charisma"

Maybe, but I thought my answer was a direct response to his question. I didn't even think i was being controversial.

Everytime that someone goes to the gun store and is denied for what ever reason. because of the NICs search.
Folks in Washington DC and in Chicago are all denied their second Amendment rights.
