Well with the gas prices the way that they are now if they go up much more a lot of people may be finding another way to work besides driving! Georgia has some of the lowest gas prices in the country so I guess we have it better than alot of you all. But still….

I hope that the protests over the Olympic torch coming through in San Fransisco are peaceful and don’t get out of hand. I know people want to make a point about China but these people carrying the torch can’t do anything about what China does or doesn’t do.

Re: Recent protest on Olympic torch

Let us imagine and review the history of 3 countries why do we need to protest & say…….

1) Free Tibet
2) Free Quebec
3) Free New Mexico

The protests against China having the Olympics is
about more than Tibet. Steven Spielberg bowed out
because of the genocide in Sudan. China supports
the Sudanese government . Thanks to Google the
world knows.

I was going to fly out today from DFW to Richmond, Va to go to my sons birthday party. But it was canceled, what really bothered me was that the customer service sucked. They could not really answer any Questions and could not guarantee your flight which had to be rescheduled for the next day, would not be canceled also.

After a very good thumping in Pennsylvania, I think we’ve settled the “large Democratic state base argument.” Is there any way Mr. Obama or his campaign can put a spin on this lost–this beautiful morning after Earth Day? I am so glad that money did not determine the outcome of Pennsylvania. Also the pungents who limit her voter base by race and class must be blind and not see the diverse group of supporters for Ms. Hillary Clinton–especially the diverse group of women voters. I am an African-American woman from Illinois and I am supporting Hillary Clinton. Her experience, compassion, and great love of America is the reason for this support, and she has “always been proud of America” through both good times and bad–and her desire to help make America a place were every person can achieve and have hope in the American Dream is commendable.
I, for one, am not “bitter,” but “better” because I know that Ms. Clinton is fighting and standing firm for economic concerns that are plaguing all of us, for war concerns–a war this country cannot afford, and for health care concerns that reveal if you are poor or middle class you can’t afford to get sick. Ms. Hillary Clinton struggle on and keep the faith and our eyes are on the prize! Charita Ford Illinois
