Hello ,
 Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse!!!!
Could this also be the sort of person who supports for profit prisons  traded 
on the New York Stock Exchange?
More laws .. sure that's what we need.. we already have more people in  jail 
than any other country in the world!

Sarah Palin, the current republican  vice-presidential candidate, isn’t down 
with BMX. She states that she “supports  penalties against any person using 
skateboards, in-line skates, bicycles,  scooters (or any other recreational, 
non-motorized wheeled device) on public or  private property where signs are 
posted forbidding their use.” Check out what  Brian Tunney said about this _on his 
blog…_ (http://assblasters.org/?p=455)

ASR started today, Interbike later in the month and I just finished 2  
workshops at the Christian Skaters Conference in Huntington Beach.
That was such a nice conference - good people making huge social changes. A  
lot of them are Republicans too... lets hope they think twice before 
supporting  this person.
