Would you go up against this group? Don't go there!!

Senator Thomas Ada, one of our favorites

I just wanted to keep everyone informed. I will write my personal comments on this matter later today.

Got to go to a meeting.

UPDATE...
Well today is April 4th and I was going to write a detailed analysis about what transpired to include the behind the scenes shuffling of the Senators on this matter, but what does it really matter anyway. The Senators didn't really care what we had to say. Chief Salas' last day is today. All I can really say is that there are many more persons that I learned you cannot trust. What a shame. Do we deserve what we get???? I don't think so. Just remember your favorite Senators come election time. Don't forget.

Until next time....
