most especially about your wanting to withdraw since your mom passed...My mom passed away a few years ago,

and I've felt the same way.

But, yes...The jerk is my senator and has always been a reliable Dem...All of a sudden, you can't discern

him from a repuke. He's on the record as being FOR the president's "chained cpi" plan for Social Security,

voted AGAINST mandated labeling of GMO foods, and just voted AGAINST the funding of food stamps...!!

I spoke to person who heads up PDA in my area, and she's shocked too..They are considering picketing

his home, to at least speak with him on the issue (she says he's "persuadable&quot but. like another

Illinois DUer, thinks that primarying him would be most difficult.
