Take This House and Shove It

Take This House and Shove It Regi Burns - SFRoamer sfroamer@yahoo.com The current House of Representatives has become a rubber stamp for the failed policies of the Bush-Cheney administration. We need a major change. I believe candidates with strong, sound stances deserve our support, and these are races where your dollars can make the difference. Minimum donation for a candidate is $5....federal maximum is $2100. Please make a contribution to this critical cause.
