How sad that he has placed the getting of abortion supporters votes over having an honest memory of his former, but recently forgotten, conscience. John J. Kwiatek […]
Candace Baker When my grandmother was raising my cousins and me, she taught us to work hard and go after what we wanted. I didn’t know it at the time, but we were in poverty.
