<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><strong><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The long awaited for election is
finally over. We breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to the promise
of change and hope for the future.</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><br>
<br>
<strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>However, there's also
a dark side to this past election. It is so disturbing that one of our
states would have an initiative on the ballot to change their state
constitution, to allow for discrimination against one specific group of
citizens. And then it passed. Bigotry is now law.</span></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We need to keep an eye
on our neighbor states, because what affects them today , could affect us
tomorrow. We must be ever vigilant of distant outside forces
that would try to manipulate events close to our home. We must realize
that hate was well funded. . . money was poured into California by groups that
preach love. "Love your neighbor". . . . but make sure it's
only a certain kind of love that we approve of.</span></strong><br>
