Correctional officers and teachers topped all legislative campaign contributors during the past election cycle, and they have since scored several key victories at the state Capitol, according to a California Common Cause report released Monday.

The California Correctional Peace Officers Association gave state legislative candidates a record $2.3 million over the 1999-2000 election year, according to the report, which ranked the top 10 contributors.

This new topic thing should be neat when they get it all straightened out. I still see a lot of cheese on the news forum. And news in the cheese forum.

I think John needs to structure the keyword system so they (a keyword ) can be added after the fact and then he might have a good replacement for the Bump Register.

Meanwhile I have got to rework some of my scripts since they now just give a self search!

If this doesn't set off all sorts of bells and whistles in the minds and hearts of freedom lovers and freedom fighters...nothing will. This sort of "fact" will grow ever more prevelent and become a matter of fact.

I am so radical that I think Govt employees shouldnt be able to lobby or contribute at all...silly meeeeeee

Stick your head between your legs and kiss the republic goodbye.......
