Campbell soups to be made with lower sodium sea salt

Makes no difference who is pushing the ball to take away personal freedom, Bush, Obama, or all of the above, I am adamantly opposed to it...but can you really tell me that you think things are just as well for us now as 5 years ago when it comes to personal freedoms and personal choices?
