and the reason why we're ameritech as never before. recently i attended the democratic convention.s an amazing event. i am a democrat. no surprise. it is amazing compared to the republican convention. the republicans talked about four fathers, their life, how they got here, i didn't hear anybody talk about the vouchers system, a tax cuts for the rich, cutting medicare/medicaid, getting rid of food stamps. they did not talk about what they believe than and their website and on the platform. for the first time they have national right to work day want to get rid of the inheritance tax and capital gains but nobody talked about backed because if they did they would never get elected. they thought they could talk about the four fathers but not lay out a plan to save the way we put people back to work is tax cuts for the rich. what an idea. be honest. make the choice and let everybody know and talk about those issues. and the republicans are rewriting history. i could not thigh and george bush or dick cheney. where was sarah palin? they did not want them there. it reminds people of the e

they are arguing that the defense ameritech is unconstitutional. the court found the defense marriage act unconstitutional. in that case, the court would be hesitant to take this case. there are two others. one is peterson versus the personnel of office management, a connecticut case. another is a new york case. all of these have been petition for review for the district court. in all the other cases, the petitioner was the one new one below. so this is a series standing problem, or you have steny to appeal the case, whether you got everything you wanted in the case below. in the windsor case, the marriage was conducted in canada. the question is whether the marriage is valid in new york. they may not be very great vehicles. so it comes down to the massachusetts case and the california case, which has not gone to the ninth circuit yet. the justice department's public doesn't want to take a balance the case because they want kagen sitting in. but i think there are some strong reasons. the court would normally take cases that they have heard the whol

caller: i think one thing if ameritech voters take the time out on labor day to listen to what the presidenthat his vision is and of the bible states that without a vision, people will perish. this president has a vision for america. it is not exclusive, it is inclusive. they are including everybody. if we remember the last time a rich businessman ran for president of the united states, it was mr. herbert hoover. we all know he ran for the presidency under the republican party. look what and up to this country back when mr. hoover had it. it mr. franklin delano roosevelt almost four terms to take care of that mess. the majority of the american people are still getting out of what the former president bush took us into and mr. romney offers nothing. mr. ryan is going around the country beating a dead horse. he offers mediscare instead of concise construction for medicare. they want to take your social security and all of your pension funds and union funds and everything else and put them into a brokerage and give them to a ceo on wall street so they can do it like if you went with your money
