suppression and Constitutional circles, but it is another part of the corporate Republican plan.

Our county in Texas was going to finally have a public defenders office. My wife was hired as their private investigator. They were looking for temporary offices until the renovations at the courthouse were complete. She was going to start in 2 weeks when she was told that the county decided to expand the D.A.'s office (prosecutor's). They took over all of he space and so no Public Defender's office in our county. This was a year ago.

We have one of the highest percentages of minorities in our part of the state. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is where a large part of the war against Democrats, the middle class and the poor is planned and executed! We have so much to do to catch up to them.
