[Peace-discuss] Letter to the N-G

[Karen Medina]

speaking of the local media and the recent election, I had the tv on in the background Sunday or Monday evening, and I swear the newscaster said, instead of "lame duck" session, he said "veto session" and he said it at least 3 times in 5 minutes. I am pretty sure it was channel 15 or 17.

>>The American people have registered at the polls their disgust with

>>This behavior includes aggression against a land posing no military

>>At home, the American people have been terrorized, convinced that

>>So, how can the expression of our people, established in our recent
