Makes me sick.

Makes me sick also....wonder how many Americans care or know the impact this regulator will have on their lives?

i talked to a lady in Bennett of Utah office yesterday. she sounded like she was upset the senator voted but told me that he understands what has happened in the past and feels that it wont effect his job. She said the last four people who were in that office all have endorsed him.

Let's remember these people during election time!
