i personally know a few and have heard of others. i have been thinking of dedicating a wall to all of our presidential heroes in my house.
i might even throw a republican or 2 in for good measure (abe and tr).

(30,540 posts)in the classroom (this was when he was Gov here in CA). It show him dressed up in western gear from one of his movies pointing a gun and it said "Thanks for the votes suckers!" I don't know how she got away with it. Though she was a teacher for government and this was in the early seventies plus she was considered a really COOL teacher. I think now days a teacher would probably have a lynch mob after her for something like that.
