Cletis's Pledge To The Baggers

LINK

The Cletis Stump Pledge

    
     "I hereby pledge to inform others, even those I find difficult, regarding the duplicity and chicanery of the modern Republican party. I will provide examples supported by facts and easily referenced sources. I will do this through personal contact, letters to the editor of my local paper, distribution of informative flyers door to door, and any other method which fits my life's circumstance. I will do this in an on-going manner and will not allow gross ignorance nor pervasive apathy, which I will surely encounter, to dissuade me."
    
     The following list was borrowed from Rich Miles who posted it on his blog Logical Negativism. Rich received it as an e-mail from his friend, Trebonska. Rich is a unique thinker and we recommend you visit his place and prowl around a bit. There is a link at the bottom of the post.

No . . . You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.
