Friday, March 9 — TIME MAGAZINE CALLS the S.V.A. re: 2008 PRESIDENTIALS

Do U know Y? Clue: See the “S.V.A. Prominent Supporters”! The investigative female political reporter from Time magazine querried whether the legendary Stonewall veterans organization favored Republican Rudy Giuliani or Democrat Hillary Clinton as the next U.S. President. Williamson asked the reporter: What about Independent Michael Bloomberg? Then, WLH explained in detail that it is much too early in the process. Williamson clarified that the S.V.A. is not a political group and does not “endorse” candidates; however, the S.V.A. has non-political avenues of very effective “support”.
