I will tell you. I know how Henry Jackson would vote were he alive on the Durbin amendment. I know how Harry Truman would vote on the Durbin amendment. I know how John F. Kennedy would vote. and yes. I know how George McGovern would vote. I would suggest that you should have an interest now that you have made refugees out of the Contras in giving democracy a half even chance. Give David a slingshot as he goes against the Sandinista Goliath. I hope and pray that you will reject this poisonous amendment and give democracy half a fighting chance.
