One still against and refused to be educated by quite a few emails that
couldn't be any plainer. Must have an ulterior motive. Or he doesn't read

The Honorable Senator Giffords is a BABE!  Lemme tell ya! Too bad you missed
her. By the looks of her bill sponsorships, she cares about a lot of things
very deeply, a real crusader.
