[W126 Coupe] Fw: Uncomfortable, if you care about the United States read this.

[Ernie Stephens]

Good for you David; we need every eligible voter to read this.  We are close to loosing the very freedom that we have to even get on a site such as this and share our knowledge with one another.  Typically, those that don't like our country don't like us and our gas guzzlers either; I don't think that you will loose any friends on this site for speaking up.
Ernie 
PS: And if you do, so be it; it's way past time to speak up
