Mr Roby, you would have loved being in Phoenix this past week for the American Legion National Convention. I happen to be a new Legion member after serving in the USAF from 1970-1974. What a thrill it was to salute the flag & sing the National Anthem again with so many other like minded individuals. The United States has several items to improve, but we are absolutely the best thing going. Also, V P Cheney addressed our group and gave an impassioned plea for a solid National Defense. When this is combined with the leadership of President Bush, the good ol' U.S.of A. is as impressive as ever. "Thank you to Howard R Roby".

Step away from the glue. The Dems. invented lobbyists. It happened the same day they started slamming the wealthy, big business and health care. Hello out there the biggest business in this country is our Federal Government. They want more of our money and yes, will use lobbyists to get laws passed that they perceive as 'gaining control' of more or our hard earned money. These money addicts, both Dems and Reps, need an intervention. In case no one has noticed the clowns in D.C. haven't been doing so good with the money they've already robbed from us. There is no sainthood on either side of the isles of Congress. Wait, wait, wait, wait; you think that the Dems haven't partaken of lobbyist's perks? Step away from the glue.
