Clinton, Obama, Edwards would restrict Second Amendment rights

The NRA distributed a news release 1/18/08 entitled "Leading Democratic Candidates Call for Severe Restrictions on our Second Amendment Rights"

Here it is:

"With the Presidential nominating season in full swing, trying to pin down the various candidates’ unequivocal stance on issues of import can often be difficult, if not impossible. Amidst their political posturing and refining of positions at the recent Las Vegas Caucus, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), and former Senator John Edwards (D-NC), were asked a series of questions about the gun issue. All called for severe restrictions on our Second Amendment rights."

Here's a link to the that part of a recent debate among Democrat party candidates.

Unelected appointees spending tax money

Dan Dodd, state representative from the 91st District, has written an essay about the folly of these practices, and you can read it at WCLT's web site.

An art gallery with a different look

If any art collectors are passing by, you may want to go to this link and see some unique and inexpensive drawings and paintings by an up-and-coming artist. Nothing local about her or her works, but I've been watching her development for the past couple of years and I think her stuff is brilliant. See what you think...
