There is a REASON these leeches don't want to be tested. You have to realize; ANYTHING and EVERYTHING offends them, so as long as I am paying their way, I should have a say. We need to vote out ANY "lawmaker" that is not behind this........ 'Robbing Peter to pay Paul' don't work for anybody but Paul..........
