Hm. I didn't know Lincoln was on Twitter. These will make perfect tweets.
Thanks for that LL.
This is a very powerful message. Thank you for posting it. Too bad it probably won't be seen by the very people who need to see it.
I'm guessing he was shot by someone on social assistance ;)

Sorry I haven't been by for awhile. I added a comment to your 8/31 DOJ post.

Truth 101 - The truth is that I could use another blog or two.
