[Peace] Help Dump Lott And Reaffirm American Values Of Justice And Equality (fwd)

[Alfred Kagan]

I tend to agree with Carl.  Not that we should "support" Lott, but 
rather that it might be better to have a discredited figure in the 
leadership role than someone new. However, this is probably moot.  I 
think Lott will be forced to resign.
