Promises Kept

U.S. Governors take a 'Hypocritic Oath'
Vowing stubbornly to be blind to both

  Whatever contradicts their beliefs
  Or might give their citizenry relief

our governor needs to be impeached... our senate and house voted to end his order and he refuses to let us act on their win... he is taking it to court... good write! :) hugs

Yes. I've read about what's going on in PA. Between your governor and the heavy rains/flooding, things must be insane there. Hang in there, and keep the faith! Take care now, Gershon

It was ever aye. A century ago the precinct captains handed out beer and drove the laborers to the polls. Today... Thanks, Caren
