And to express the other side of the opinion, please recall a news
story, be it from, ''60 Minutes/Nightline/ABC World News''....

IF "CLITON" were ahead, AKA POLLING, that the NRA was going to spend
generous amounts of money to put key people in CONGRESS to block any
WEAPON/ARMS bills that do not work in favor of the NRA.

Now this does two things.  It gridlocks any sort of help to put
a crimp in the ever increasing crime rate.  Plus, these people in
CONGRESS are so focused on the NRA issues that they do not ADEQUATELY
represent any functionality or do not have a general sense of the needs of
the US much less the area that they are suppose to represent 
districtwise...truely PAC group that is out of control.

Sorry, joining NRA for $25 just to focus on 'GUN' issues.  NOT, I'd
rather put up the money for UWSA, to cover not just those issues, but
much more.  We wont stop just at HEALTH/CRIME/EDUCATION.  Once these
are fixed, we can then focus on other things HOMELESS...INSURANCE...
COURTS...OVERCROWDED JAILS...TAXATION...POLICY HOME & AWAY...
CATCH-ALL INFRASTRUCTURE...EDUCATION...RACISM (Were all human, its that
simple and live on a planet called EARTH)...ETC...

I hope CLINTON's statement about OBSTRUCTION of the progress of his
administration includes the 'crap' that goes on in CONGRESS.  Wait...
'craps' is a game, isn't it? (This is rhetorical)

Thanks a $4 Trillion,
	Rob
