Mail Call - May 3
“I had to laugh at the April 15 closing of the post office. You know, you had 3 1/2 months to file your taxes. The post office is open. So that was your fault.

Mail Call - April 29
“Interesting story about the city and the utilities, the water and sewer. I cannot believe they let 402 people go without paying and then finally they levied down on them, and 218 paid up.

I am not an NRA...Tags: Barack Obama, Interior Policy, Gun Control, Politics, Personal Weapon Control
