So you would support the proposed Metro charter change
making English the official language of Metro Nashville?
I'll notify Eric Crafton. He's looking for all the outside
help he can get.

Also our sheriff is working with the Feds to deport all of
the illegals that come through his jail. His name is Darron
Hall and I sure he'd appreciate your support too. Send him
an email expressing your feelings.

Nor am I. I never have been. I'm a) lucky, b) fortunate,
or c) blessed. (Choose one that fits your level of
Political Correctness). But should things change and I
don't have the Part D coverage, I'd have to wait until the
next window of opportunity to sign up (generally around the
first of the year).

I paid into it and I'm in the process of getting some of it
back. If I reach the age of my grandfather when he died, I
MIGHT have all I paid in plus some interest. It maybe from
the Federal teat since it was spent elsewhere and the money
is now coming from the general fund. Not my fault.
