<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Donovan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1st point: Many, perhaps most, of those who
receive money from PERSI are elderly--certainly I am.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2nd point: I am going to assume your
self-touted compassion for the elderly extends only to those who aren't liberals
receiving money from PERSI. Obviously our needs mean little to you.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3rd point: I have 3 sources of income: PERSI,
which constitutes about 65% of my retirement income; Social Security, which is
about 30%, and some funding I receive through my work as an educational
consultant. Yes, I gladly take my money from PERSI, quite a bit of
which comes from my contributions over the 30 years I worked as a
teacher. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4th point: I appreciate your pointing out
PERSI's investments and I will continue to lobby the PERSI investment board to
back off its investments which I feel to be an inappropriate use of teachers'
retirement funds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5th point: Now why don't you do something
productive for the elderly, such as I. I would suggest a significant
effort on your part to lobby the president or our policy makers from Idaho (you
are more likely to have elected them than I.) Maybe a policy change that
would allow the government to negotiate with drug companies for Medicare
recipients, or a law which would allow us to die with dignity at a time of our
choice, should we be incurably ill. I just bet you have as much pull with those
folks as I do with the PERSI Board, so hop to it, chum. </FONT></DIV>

Liberals Own Stock in Wal-Mart</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It is interesting to hear all the liberals in Moscow complain about how
horrible Wal-Mart is, yet they gladly take their retirement funds from PERSI.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PERSI invests in Wal-Mart. As well as Exxon Mobile and Bank of Illegals
(AKA Bank of America). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Look yourself:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am curious to see how many of them back out of PERSI since it is profit
made from sweatshops.</DIV>
