Killing PLUG softly

[Joshua Zeidner]

  Jim,  you do realize that by making a statement about filtering you say
loud and clear that it's not about annoying emails, its about the content in
them.  I don't need to say another word, you will be hearing more of this
for the simple reason that there is absolutely no way that the people of
Arizona are going to continue to tolerate illegal aliens and the enormous
financial burden they bring while we cut just about every service to
taxpaying citizens.  Similar sentiment is emerging in every state.
 Pretending it's not happening or pretending as if this is some radical
viewpoint isn't going to change those fundamental numbers.  Some have become
very used to this issue behaving in a certain way, but we are *in a
completely different situation now*.  There is no more funny money and no
more credit.

  So go ahead and pronounce me a heretic.  That will speak loudly to the
people who want to hear.  Im not interested in reaching people like you.  Im
quite sure Im not the only one who puts zero value on your opinion.
