Obama wants to move forward but I strongly believe we need some kind of resolution to the past eight years; resolution in the form of an investigation and, if warranted, prosecution of those who led us into war with false information, lies, the destruction of evidence, ignoring our legal rights etc. I should probably blog about this...California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-75369697627517859082009-03-07T08:31:00.000-05:002009-03-07T08:31:00.000-05:00Ronda I would love to walk around DC with you some...Ronda I would love to walk around DC with you sometime!
