Larry Fillmore said...: Dwight - Thank you very much. Lately, you have been doing a great deal to exposing problems in government that need to be immediately corrected. It is through exposure identifying issues that are less than right in the government, will corrective action be taken. Exposing the rats will eliminate the plague!; July 25, 2014 at 11:46 PM
