Looks like the senators and congress people from Illinois, California, and New York that lost their elections have moved to MN.

It is my opinion that every one of the legislators that have supported such an unconstitutional measure, have made their own decisions to become traitors to the Republic of the United States of America. Someday, I hope they may find themselves placed under arrest, tried for treason, found guilty and punished appropriately.

I have sent emails and called all my lib-o-rat elected morons. I plan on writing them a letter and hand delivering it to each one Monday. I relly do not think it will do any good but I am not going to sit still and HOPE they will not support these bills. I want OUT of this state ASAP! A state that elects Al Franken is stupid. A failed comic who could not make is not qualified for the Senate!!!
