My verbal protest is on record with the managers of Walmart and Lowes

here in Paris, TN .. and they both say I am but one of many who

protest .. but nothing will change because Americans want cheap

prices. I watched the CNN broadcast for 3-4 nights .. Planet in

Peril .. y'all can review it here ..

intl=false

and I decided that folks who advocate TCM should also watch it .. then

I watched the Democratic nominees spar the other night on TV .. from

Nevada it was broadcast .. and Romney commented that under the WTO

rules America had sufficient grounds for boycotting Chinese goods now

... but it ain't gonna happen.

And NO .. I have NOT turned Liberal .. I just believe in getting the

news from all sources .. and besides, being an old Army dude I believe

that one should know their enemy. ;-)

In any case .. thanks for the link .. like the old man who peed in the

ocean .. every little bit helps .. so I joined the organization and

sent in my pledge.

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch .. http://www.AV-AT.com
