Most of you know that I began as a Democrat – supporting JFK to the point of almost losing my job for a GOP Attorney.  When JFK was assinated and LBJ took occupation of the Oval Office I lost loyalty to the Democrats as I sensed a much different agenda under LBJ.  I soon left the Democrat Party and stayed […]
