- First, who is Arthur Adams who draws comic books?
- As a constituent of Sen. Metzenbaum, I must say that this is
- just one in a series of such actions taken by "Mr. Filibuster."
- He is a perfect example of how our "leaders" are out of touch with
- the general public. While it may be true that calls
- to senators' offices may be statistically biased, I think
- it is pretty clear that the general public does NOT want Mrs. Baird
- confirmed.
- Heaven help us if our senators actually start voting the
- will of the people whom they represent..
