REPRESENTATIVE TRACY: I hope we all had a great time celebrating our 225th Independence Day!

*room agrees*

REPRESENTATIVE TRACY: Excellent.  So did I. Josh and I ended up doing fireworks at my place instead. The pics are going to be posted on our site and I may make a nice desktop wallpaper with them, maybe a few if I'm feeling creative.  I did make it to Dogwood but I decided to not stay long because the entire place smells like shi- poop.

Q: What was that?

REPRESENTATIVE TRACY: If I tell you Angelfire would scrap this site.

*laughs*

REPRESENTATIVE TRACY:  Which reminds me, I wanted to talk about what this Independence day meant for me.  I was thinking about it as I stuck a lit punk into a cone that lost its wick before igniting. 225 years ago, we were given something that we hadn't known before, Freedom. That one simple principle was our reason for rebellion all those years ago. Look at us now, we are still fighting for freedom. Maybe not with as much blood spilling, but it's still our right to individual liberties and so much more, which is our freedom of Socialism. It gave a born again feel to all my anti liberal feelings.  Look at what the Democrats want from socialized health care and federal education to bans on car phones. Taking power away from the individuals and giving it to the mob.  The more things like education stay local, the more power we will have in the government. The more power we have, the more say we will have in our individual lives so that we can live them how we want.

Q: When will the wallpapers be posted?

REPRESENTATIVE TRACY: Later today. Well, I have an appointment with someone that I would hate to be late for. Thanks for your time.
