Wondering where Jenifer found the Jan Martel / Milton Friedman connection,
a little googling turned up this entertaining thread:

I especially like this bit. Note that at least one
reader knows the women personally:

This is what I call fulfilling the duties of citizenship. Citizenship
isn't just about fulfilling one's democratic duty to act politically
within one's nation. It's about fulfilling one's duty to act on behalf
of one's nation abroad. The government is not the mouthpiece of the
nation save in intergovernmental dialogue. These people decided to
spread the word that not all Americans are properly represented by
the self-interested idiots and thieves in charge. And the better
for it. The United States needs a giant image overhaul, and the
government isn't going to make that happen.

I'll be sure and share that with Debbie and the others. I'm sure
they'd be happy for any support they can get right now.
