Stop Pulling the Wagon

Do you want to get rich like your Congress person or Senator is.  It is really not that difficult. First, put all your morals, scruples and integrity in a bag and lock it away somewhere it can’t annoy you.  Next pick an elected official to pattern your life after. Maybe someone like current California Senator and former Congressman Adam Schiff.

Senator Schiff has a lengthy resume of lies and perjury.  He is not a man hindered by the truth and has amassed himself a treasury of some 17 Million (known) Dollars and who knows what other plunder he has tucked away.  

Or, consider Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Leader of the House of Representatives who entered Congress with some $40,000 in debt and after six years in office has a stock portfolio worth 36 Million dollars.  Talk about good luck!

What you want to do is get yourself elected to public office like the above mentioned examples or any one of a number of other public servants who have acquired great wealth with a somewhat perhaps little known but very lucrative “second career”, perhaps as a Member of a Governing Board, or better still the Director of a Foundation or Corporation who does business with the Government.  

Here is a simple example of putting yourself on the path to prosperity: (1) Get elected to public office, say the U.S. House of Representatives.  (2) Set up a Charitable Foundation.  I could call mine:  Mom, The Flag and Apple Pie Foundation but other more creative players have come up with more “catchy” names such as the “Clinton Global Initiative” whose stated primary goal was to fight diarrhea in Africa and other worthy causes.

But, let us stick with my Mom, The Flag and Apple Pie Foundation.  I will of course be the Director of the foundation and my wife and other “friends” will all serve on the Governing Board. 

(3) Next, as a member of the the House of Representatives  “assist” in creating legislation to “Flush” ( and I use the term on purpose) several Billion Tax Payer Dollars through a created department like U S  AID (United States Aid Department) and then pilot a request that they “grant” 50 Million Dollars to the Mom, The Flag and Apple Pie Foundation to be used to encourage the “public” to be “Patriotic”.   (4) Once the money is received, as Director and with the support of the Foundations Board Members we will buy one Flag, one Apple Pie and send a card to our mothers on Mothers Day wishing her the best.  The rest of the money is paid out to our salaries and expenses such as creative “Retreats” at high end resorts and for “travel”, “Consultants”, “Personal Staff”,  “Security”, “Luxury offices”, “vehicles” etc. etc. 

To see the above as a true art form of “get rich schemes” we must look back at our friends the Clinton’s.  Example:

When Port-Au-Prince in Haiti was devastated by a massive 7.0 Earthquake in 1993 over 13 Billion Tax Payer Dollars were pledged to help rebuild the City and surrounding area.  Several Billion of these dollars were “flushed” through the Clinton Foundation to rebuild housing and infrastructure in Port-Au-Prince.  Very little housing was rebuilt and the infrastructure remains a shambles to this day but the money disappeared – “Poof” and the Clinton’s who according to Hilary left the White House some millions of Dollars in debt (her words) find themselves today worth, according to published figures, more than 900 Million Dollars.  True “giants” in the art of turning “Public Service” into a profitable career.  Editors note:  There is very little evidence that the “books” of the Clinton Foundation have ever been subjected to outside scrutiny but what little information that has been gleaned indicates that less than 10% of funds donated have ever been spent on stated causes.

Don’t want to stoop to the likes of “How Low Can You Go” Adam Schiff or the Clinton Crime Family?  Without going to the trouble of becoming a Politician you can set up your own “Foundation” and contribute generously to a “Pliable” Man or Woman already in office for their “Political Campaign”, get to “know them” and then offer them well paid seats on your “Governing Board” and let them “Shepard” the Legislation to get Tax Payer Funds to come your way. 

On a more local level you can find yourself a Conrad Blowhard Mayor who will push through a 60 Million Dollar renovation on a shoddy old hotel to accommodate 120 homeless people at a cost of $500,000 per vagrant (and co-incidentally leave his city with a 60 Million Dollar budget deficit the following year) to enrich you and his other supporters with fat contracts to enrich  your and their bank accounts at the expense of the City Taxpayers.  So, get creative at the “Public Trough” of Tax Dollars.

So, if you want to get into a profitable career and personal integrity is not a stumbling block for you, consider a life as an elected “Public Representative” or “working partner” of one.  

It is not my intent to malign the integrity and honor of all elected officials but current disclosures indicate that a high percentage of  “Politicians” are in it for the money.

Bob Bandy – April 2025

Regular readers of my writings over the years, and those who read my brief “Bio” (right column),  know that I am registered as “Not Affiliated”  or registered with any “Political” Party.  Both of the main Political Parties (Republicans and Democrats) have contributed some measure of the current near bankrupt government we, our children and grandchildren are stuck with. 

Having said the above it is my habit to place my vote with the candidate(s) who best support my personal values and who demonstrate a desire to provide what most of us believe is the primary functions of good government.  Namely: A safe, clean environment for ourselves and our families to live in, A balanced public budget,  Personal moral character and integrity of those in charge, protection for the most vulnerable i.e. our children and the infirm, truthful “no word salad” answers to honest questions and, “Whew”, keeping their word.

At the time of this writing there is much political consternation in our nations capitol and also in much of our land.  

Love him or hate him, our president, Donald Trump can be a polarizing leader but he does have a plan which in general has broad support.

1. Secure our borders and keep us out of foreign wars.

2.Reduce government waste and spending and work to reduce the nations debt. 

3.Protect America’s children from those grooming and recruiting them into the Transgender crowd’s non – scientific lie that gender can be changed with pharmaceuticals, wardrobe changes or surgery…  at a DNA level gender can’t be changed and it is monstrous to seduce, even mutilate children into making adult decisions. 

4.Keep Biological males out of women’s sports.  

5.Quit pouring Hundreds of Billions of Dollars into the Climate Change “Black Hole”.  The previous administration budgeted over a Trillion Dollars into “Climate Change” and accomplished nothing except make China richer while China and India, with total combined populations of over Two Billion people are building coal fired power plants as fast as they can and neither pay any more than propaganda lip service to a climate change agenda.

6.Cancel the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion lie that instead of raising people up, drags them down in a race to the bottom.  Read: Of Banks, Baseball And Monkeys 

https://www.stoppullingthewagon.com/?s=Banks+baseball+and+monkeys

I could go on but space is limited and the point is made that like it or not, our President and his administration have a plan. 

At this point the opposition Democrats seem to be in a self proclaimed “Circular Firing Squad”.  They appear “Leaderless” and except for a seeming desperate clinging to a “WOKE” agenda, the only apparent “Plan” they have for America is to Hate Donald Trump.  Hate the Trump Administration.  Hate anybody claiming affiliation with “Make America Great Again”.  “Hate Israel while Loving Hamas”.  Hate the rich and want to raise taxes on Billionaires and so called “Oligarchs” … did I mention that you could tax all the Billionaires in the country at 100% and not run the country for 6 months at the current spending rates and you could only do that once.  The last Administration raised the nations debt from 27.8 Trillion Dollars in January 2021 to 36.2 Trillion Dollars in January 2025.  Don’t take my word for this, Google it yourself.

And lest you forget… the thing the opposition wants most to happen is for you to Hate Donald Trump so much it consumes your common sense and every waking moment.  Read:   The Price of Hate   

https://www.stoppullingthewagon.com/?s=the+price+of+hate

If you study history you will find that one way to conquer your enemies is to get them so consumed with hatred that they can no longer make well thought out plans and decisions.  Their hatred is like a giant rock they have to carry with them and prevents them from doing more than use all their remaining energy in hating.

While those on the “Left” are living the bitterness of hatred, those on the “Right” will do well to remember the Biblical admonition to “Love and Forgive” those who would be your enemy.  It can be difficult to do but healing and healthy as you do it.

Just something to think about……

A BIT LONGER THAN MY USUAL POSTINGS – PLEASE BEAR WITH ME

IN THE NEWS – DOGE UNCOVERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN WASTE, FRAUD AND CORRUPTION

Turning on the news it is almost overwhelming the amount of Taxpayer Dollars that have been found being wasted by “The Deep State Bureaucracy”.  While outright theft and fraud is surely criminal, many times the waste is founded in incompetent management and/or the tendency of any created department to want to become immortal long after their stated purpose in existing has become an exercise in futility or simply unneeded.     

Mismanagement and wasted resources is not totally the province of Government.  The following is an absolutely true story from personal experience and I will share it with you to emphasize the point.

Before I took an early retirement/exit from the Corporate World I worked in management for a fair sized company in the computer software, hardware and billing industry business.  One day I was called by one of the companies Directors and told they had an employee whom they were looking to promote but performed an important function in inventory control of many millions of dollars worth of computers and computer parts and asked me to spend some time with him to find out all he did, how he did it, what was involved and in general begin the process of finding a suitable replacement for him.  

I was familiar with this employee and knew him to be intelligent, reliable and loyal.  In working with him I found that he was responsible for maintaining an accurate inventory count of the “on hand” computer hardware, from large main frame systems to all the affiliated components including replacement parts.  His job was to do a rotating monthly hand count of what was available and produce a series of reports (from A to J) by category and distribute this report to the Corporate President, Vice Presidents, Directors and some related Managers monthly. 

After becoming familiar with his work process I decided it would be a good idea to visit with all the management personnel on the distribution list of this report and get their input on what they liked about the report and what changes could be made to possibly improve it. 

What I found out was that of all the folks on the distribution list for this report, not a single one of them ever even bothered to read it.  They all believed they were just receiving a “courtesy copy” probably of value to someone else.  They all either threw it away or recycled it.  In visiting with our Corporate Vice President of Accounting I found out that the company some years previously had automated the system with an Accounting Tracking Program which maintained the inventory on a Purchased, Sold or Scraped basis with an occasional “spot check” if a question came up.  After notifying the Director of my findings, I recommended we simply discontinue the report for 30-60 days and see if anybody in the Corporate “chain” complained about not getting it and if no-one did, to simply eliminate the position and save the $45,000 (plus Benefits) salary for use elsewhere.  He agreed and that is what we did.  I would like to say again that the employee did nothing wrong, just faithfully did as he had been instructed year after year.  He went on to become a valuable asset in his new position.  Up until DOGE I do not remember hearing of government ever doing what I have described above.  

I document the above to demonstrate that, whether in Corporate America or Government, sometimes the employee is not at fault for wasted Payroll/Budget Dollars.  Often Government and Corporations fall into a pattern of doing things from habit or routine without questioning whether the task(s) being performed are really necessary or could be completed in more efficient less expensive ways.  I will hasten to add that in my years with the company I also found waste and corruption in many other ways.  One example: employees who were kept “on board” simply because they had threatened management with litigation if terminated and Corporate Management made the “Money” decision that it was cheaper to keep that employee in a “Do Nothing” job than to pay the likely legal costs of a protracted legal battle disputing untrue but damaging allegations.  I remember one employee for example who was given the created title of “Postal Liaison Manager” whose only duty was to fraternize with the Postal Employees we interacted with.

The above is only a tame, sometimes innocent example of how Government and Corporations can waste Taxpayers and Shareholders Dollars through sometimes sloppy, but often just poor management and oversight. To get into the “Big Bucks” ratholes, pure fraud, graft and corruption you have to ask yourself how does Senator Foghorn or Congresswoman Leghorn begin their career in Government nearly broke with a Salary of $100,000+ and end up over a period of time with $75,000.000 (that’s 75 Million) Dollars in the bank.  Or, for a really screaming, record breaking example of waste and fraud, you might look at something like California’s “High Speed Rail” project which has seen 100 Billion Dollars spent without a single railcar ever moving a single mile down the track and the “Blue Sky Project” has made California a laughing stock “working” on something that from the beginning was simply a payoff to Organized Labor (especially the Operating Engineers Union) for supporting the Democratic Party. 

But not to get “off track” of the “Congressional Path to Personal Prosperity”, let us get back to Senator Foghorn.  Here is how the game can be played.  The good Senator attaches, for his vote on a piece of pending Legislation,  provision within the Legislation  for a grant (from Taxpayer Dollars) of $2,000,000 (That’s Two Million Dollars) go to a two man “Research Team” in a Banana Republic to study the effect of Transgender Surgery on Frogs with a clear, quiet, understanding from said pending recipient that a generous portion of those funds will find their way back to his re-election campaign bank account or some other “slippery” way into his “Retirement Fund”.  Or maybe a “Commission Check” (wink, wink) is sent to a numbered account at an “Offshore” Bank or Brokerage House.  Hence our Senator Foghorn, or Congresswoman Leghorn turns their “Public Service” into a “Gravy Train”.

Are they all a bunch of crooks.  No, but sadly, there is a too small a number of “Good Ones”.  And, there are also many others in positions of power who use their position to enrich themselves through graft and corruption at the Taxpayers expense.   

I would like to see Congress pass a law that each member of House of Representatives and the Senate be required to make public their financial net worth when the are sworn into office and an annual updated report of their financial net worth each year they are in office “Serving the Public”.   I know, “Fat Chance” this will ever happen.

“Do Nothing Jobs” – “Kickbacks” – “Insider Trading” – “Sweetheart Deals” 

The following is a typical example – Both Parties have many such members

Life can be good in the “Swamp”!

Bob Bandy – March 2025

LOOK FAMILIAR

PLEASE NOTE: The following is not intended to discredit the untold thousands of Public Service Employees who go to work everyday to keep the lights on, the streets safe, our children educated, Social Security checks and services ongoing and so many other essential public services needed by all of us.  This is about corrupted officials who have maintained some public agencies and departments long past their useful life and/or used their positions to enrich themselves at the taxpayers expense.

My Hero, Elon Musk, and the DOGE Crew are going where no one has dared go before and they are finding in government what too many of us have done on a smaller scale.  Overflowing Agencies and Departments, or in our case Garages and Storage Units, filled with the oft forgotten, frequently broken debris of yesteryear that for some reason we never get around to discarding or disposing of and instead pay a price to maintain year after year.  Too many Government Agencies, Departments and programs are like that.

Here is an anonymous story which tells the sad tale of how government too often works:

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.  Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night”.  So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.  Then Congress said, “how does the watchman do his job without instruction?”

So they created a planning department and hired two people.  One person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.  Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?”  So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people.  One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.

Then Congress said, “how are these people going to get paid?”  So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer, then hired two people.  Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?”  So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back.”

So they laid off the night watchman. (but kept the department and all other spending intact indefinitely)

*******************

Another example taken from an article I wrote back in 2018 titled STORAGE WARS AND THE GOVERNMENT uses as an example the United States Department of Energy is excerpted below:

“Our government is filled with departments and agencies on steroids which have metasticized past their original intent and charter, have budgets in the Billions and employees in the tens of thousands.

There are dozens of excellent examples of Government Departments and Agencies that began life as a well intended, “We’ve got to do something” pregnant thought in the mind of a bureaucrat. 

One good example of how government programs become bloated, employee heavy, overgrown, self sustaining, ineffective, unnecessary rat holes for tax dollars can be seen in the U.S. Department of Energy. 

Created in 1977 it was originally chartered to make the U.S. independent from the need for foreign oil.  What it has become is a Thirty Two Billion Dollar a year, Ten Thousand plus employee boondoggle. 

What was really needed was an examination of government policies and regulations that was choking the life out of energy producers. 

Forty years and about a Trillion Dollars later the Department of Energy never met its original goal. 

We are now trembling on the verge of becoming energy independent, not because of the Department of Energy but by getting government out of the way of private market energy producers.

Are we hearing any plans to shut down, or downsize of the Department of Energy?  No!”

********************

Unfortunately the DOGE group are also finding waste and corruption beyond just run-a-way departments on steroids that waste our tax dollars.  Government Employees and Politicians that have “salaries” in the hundred thousand’s of dollars per year but in a few short years are multi-millionaires.  “Lucky guesses on investments/insider trading?” – “Finders Fees/kickbacks” on “paid out government grants to domestic or foreign recipients?”  “Money trees in their back yards?”  “Hit the lottery?”

I find it kind of humorous that those who are trying to stop the DOGE group are putting themselves in a position defending Government Waste, Fraud, Abuse and outright Theft of Taxpayers Dollars.

Something to think about,

PACIFIC PALISADES TODAY

**********

NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE

RAHM EMANUEL from a quote by Saul Alinsky

**********

Following the aftermath of the terrible Southern California fires in PACIFIC PALISADES, ALTADENA, MALIBU etc., President Trump went to Southern California to meet with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and a group of City and County Administrators and other Leaders on planning for recovery of the fire stricken areas with an emphasis on rebuilding the some 15,000 or so homes that were destroyed.  President Trump was pushing for an expedited process of building permits so those who lost their homes could begin immediate reconstruction funded in large part by Billions of  Dollars in Federal Disaster Relief Money. 

Unsaid, but my impression was that the President was thinking that John Q. and Mary J. Citizen had a house lost in the fire and the City/County should “give” John Q. and Mary J. a new piece of paper authorizing them to rebuild what they lost in the fire.  My further impression was that, if my television resolution were a little better, I would have been able to see the looks of opportunity in the faces of these “Public Servants” as they envisioned the Billions of Federal Taxpayer Dollars being filtered through their “hands” so they could “harvest” a share of this money in Permit Fees, Impact Fees, Environmental Fees, Mitigation Fees, School  Fees, Drainage Fees, increased Property Taxes, etc., etc., ad nauseum.  

In plain Taxpayer terms, John Q. and Mary J. will be paying more,  in taxes and, if they have a mortgage, probably much more for a home like the one they had before the fire.  However, the City and County of Los Angeles will reap a great harvest in fees and increased property taxes.

Hard numbers are difficult to come by when it comes to Permit Fees (if you do an internet search have a lunch and calculator handy) but “new” residential construction in California begin with a paperwork fee of $5,000 to $7,000 and by the time you are shovel ready to build the total cost is in the $100,000 (or more) range just for the completed permit to let you build.  I have been told by knowledgeable sources that  the above number is even more in many areas.  Keep in mind that these permit fees are added to the “value” of the home for market and tax purposes and you will in fact be paying property taxes on the permit fees “forever”.  And you were wondering why housing in California is so expensive?

Couple the above with the fact that if any of these homeowners have lived for many years in their homes they were covered by California Proposition 13 which restricted Property Value Tax Increases to 1% per year if they maintained their property as it was when they bought it and the “State”/”County”/”Authorities” could not raise your tax rates just because home values have increased over the years.  To give you an example I will use someone whom I know well.  To protect his identity I will just call him “Bob”.  Bob bought his average residential 1,500 square foot home some thirty years ago for $110,000.  With Proposition 13 in place the County has increased the Property Tax Valuation of the property by 1% (accrual) a year and the County now values the Property at $174,000 for Tax Purposes.  If my friend, “Bob”, had done a major remodel or added on a room etc. it would have triggered a County Revaluation to current market value, lets say $440,000 and he would be paying property  taxes on the increased value.  If “Bob” sells his home the new buyer will pay taxes on the current market value.  If “Bob’s” house burns down and the Insurance Company rebuilds it then that triggers a new tax basis and the “County Revenuers” win again.  Similarly, folks in these fire ravaged areas, if they have lived there for a number of years, were being protected from property tax increases by Proposition 13.  Rebuilding now they lose that benefit and their tax rates will increase to current market values.

Soooooooo………..  You can see why the City, County and State can see the opportunity presented by the terrible losses from the fires as both a challenge and and opportunity.  A bonanza in Permits and Fees and as a bonus the increased Property Tax Base on the increase in value of the “New” Homes.  “NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE”.

For another view of life in California living I am including below a link to an article I wrote some six years ago titled:

Bob Bandy – February 2025

IT’S PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION DAY AND THE NEWS IS FILLED WITH PROMISED AND SPECULATED “FIRST DAY” DIRECTIVES FLOWING FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

While I recognize the importance of many stated “Prime” “First Day” orders pending, I have my own vision of what I want to have first priority from the Trump Administration.  If I have one social agenda that I continually put forth, it is the protection of our nations most valuable asset……  our children.  I would like nothing more, or less, than a “Prime Directive” to come from the White House (as well as all State Government Capitols) to protect children from:

      1. So-called “Drag Queen” Pedophiles from performing in front of children.  Men who do this are nothing less than sexual predators and should be treated as such.

     2. Protect children from radical, activist “Trans-Gender” teachers and adults who want to groom and seduce children into sexuality and “gender choices”.  Children are not ready for adult choices and decision making. We do not allow them to drive cars, join the military, drink alcohol or vote for a reason.  Adults who try to steer them into radical lifestyle changes while still children through pharmaceutical or surgical (castration – mastectomies etc.) body changes are also predators and should be treated as such.  We have laws against Child Molestation and recruiting and grooming children for adult sexual decisions is no less damaging in my opinion.

The so called “Progressive” movement makes great claim to “following the science” but refuses to admit that on a medical, biological and scientific level you cannot change your gender.  You can “mess” with your plumbing but not your DNA.  So called Transgenderism is a mental and psychological condition, not a biological one. 

     3. We must stop trying to sexualize children.  Let them experience the joy and innocence of childhood and the early teen years.  Adult choices and responsibilities will come soon enough. 

I wrote an article some three plus years ago on this subject titled “Protecting The Most Vulnerable” and it is still true.  A copy of the article follows:

*****************************

PROTECTING THE MOST VULNERABLE

WE ALL HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US

I am sure there are some out there who are going to be angry with me for what I am writing.  That’s okay.  Be angry.  I am past angry, I am outraged with what I see is happening in some of our schools nationwide to the young, vulnerable and innocent youth of America.  Our children are more important than your opinion of me.

First, let me say that I am not a “Gay Basher”, I do not hate Gay People or other members of the LGBTQ community.  I have worked with, shared food with and respected many of this group for many years.

I am writing about the latest militant activist generation of this group coming out of our new “WOKE” Colleges and becoming “Educators” in our Grade Schools with an agenda to indoctrinate and recruit CHILDREN into the Gay and Transgender elements of our society.

We do not allow CHILDREN to buy guns, get drivers licenses, serve in the military, be doctors or work in dangerous jobs for a reason.  They are not mature enough to make life changing decisions about something they do not understand.  Children do not understand sexuality and fall easy prey to teachers whom they respect. 

What I am witnessing that has me so irate is what is happening in some of our schools with the youngest and most vulnerable of our children.  I am talking especially about little ones in the K-6th Grade.

There are many well documented reports:

• I have seen on television video clips of strident, militant LGBTQ Grade School Teachers bragging about how they love sharing their “orientation” with their grade school students.  “Teach them while they are young”.
• Giving children instruction on how to choose their own preferred pro-nouns and choice of sexual identity.
• Children in grades 3-6 being given graphic pictorial curriculum on sexual body parts and their functions – even reports of how to perform oral sex on one another.
• Giving CHILDREN the knowledge of full acceptance of all types of sex in the LGBTQ community. 
• Full support for those CHILDREN who decide they are Transgender and how to “transfer” to the sex of their choice.  In many locations the schools are making available the pharmaceuticals and other resources for CHILDREN, PRE-TEENS and EARLY TEENS to pursue these life changing decisions, often without parental consent.
• In many, many locations throughout America Schools are restricting or prohibiting parents from access to these curriculum or any parental rights to exclude their own child from these materials.
• A school is forced to permit a “suddenly” “Transgender” boy access to the girls Locker Room and Showers.

Are you angry yet?  Many people are very upset about what is happening but afraid of the power of those “pushing” this agenda, including Teachers Unions and the National LGBTQ Community.  Fear of being “Cancelled”, reprisals from employers, even government agencies that are in the “pockets” of the above powers.

We, me, you and all our fellow citizens and neighbors need to be (non-violently) pounding on the tables at School Board Meetings, writing, calling and challenging our elected leaders at all levels and speaking out boldly against this monstrous abuse of all our CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, NEIGHBORS CHILDREN and all CHILDREN everywhere. 

The above is pure evil.  Our CHILDREN deserve to be children and play as children.  They must not be rushed into the world of adult sexuality and the adult decisions that come with it.

Children our our most treasured and vulnerable asset.  We must protect them.  Be angry with me if you wish.  Hate me if you wish.  But, if you agree that our children must be protected, please share your thoughts, copies of this and similar articles with your family, your neighbors, your School Board, Educators/Teachers,  your elected officials, anybody who will listen and help stop this madness.

For those readers of Faith – Pray for our Children.
