"i don't know what to pray for first. that i will die before my son will so i don't have to bear the burden, or that i can outlive him so i can provide support to his family when he is gone." end of quote. quite a set of prayers, mr. president. this shouldn't be a choice any american should have to make. it shouldn't be a choice any father or mother should have to make. and when given the chance to help people just like mike, our choice should be very easy. that's what this legislation is all about. t
