We must monitor closely how the mainstream media covers this story and outcome. I pulled this note below from the live feeds and thought it was important to share.

“Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly.” Rep. Giffords was also on Sarah Palin’s “target list.”

Check out this link for more about this “target list”. I’ll be adding some more links as they come to me and will be following this closely. I am interested in your thoughts…Please comment.
