[Vision2020] The All Male Outlook and Moscow Political Future

[thansen@moscow.com]

Yes, Mr. Danahy.  Exactly as we have been saying.  Alot of us do not agree in 
any fashion with this decision.  But, as you stated below and as we have been 
saying all along,  that is their right.  So be it.  But, if they should decide 
to run for public office, I reserve the right to campaign and vote against them.
