The fact that the lawyer whose protests had been tolerated by Haiti's dictatorship was brutally arrested for standing outside a hearing room in Louisiana is an unwelcome sign of America's decreasing democratization.

Noted! Mark, I don't know when I have been this mad about a story. I made a comment on it at the source. I forgot I belonged to that and I could do it. I hope that the people you send this to will see the disgraceful behavior towards these poor people at the hands of the most corrupt, greedy administration in the history of this country and vote someone in that has compassion. It certainly will not be a Republican. If you ever wonder about Mike Huckabee, ask an Arkansan

Noted with thanks, Mark and to you Elle for giving information to us voters that we may not have heard otherwise.
