The United States is in a very unusual situation right now as most people know. We stillhavent come up with a president. The effects of the candidate we elect for our next presidentmay change my life and may not. If Bush is elected, everything I believe and stand up for willstay the same.

If Clinton could do it, whos to say Gore cant do the same. Gore thinks that gunsare the cause of all ...
