ReplyDeleteI was all set to post a link to this page on all of my social networking sites & my blog...UNTIL...the use of the "N" word in the "Vote No on 1" video. This 1 video sets us back decades in our fight for Civil Rights. SHAME on the producers of this video.

ReplyDeleteMy apologies. To be honest, I missed that the first time I watched it (the video drones on and I must have gotten distracted).
I have removed it. I do intend to keep updating this post with new videos and I will be more vigilant.
Again, my apologies.
Thanks for the speedy response. I really enjoy this blog and would truly hate to see it head in that direction.
