She's one of 35 million Americans who live in poverty every single day, unnoticed, unheard. Well, tonight we see her, we hear her, we embrace her, she is part of our family and we will lift her up.
LOL.....allow me to finish his speach:

Now I could limit lawsuit liabilities that hurt the industy that put her daddy out of work but I got some friends that would be VERY unhappy about that. We wouldn't want to see any homeless lawyers now would we? hehehe

The only thing left is for us to see her, hear her, embrace her, and raise our taxes so we can give the help she rightfully needs. Now once again I don't mean EVERYONE.....you see, me and my lawyer friends that help to put factories out of business due to lawsuits and high insurance rates have tax loopholes. Now don't think your alone on this....we think of ya all the time when we buy our new cars, mansions, and designer underware. We like to give with our heart.

Have a good one!:s4:
