This e-mail is to officially advise you that your presence at my husband’s memorial services will be unacceptable. I have watched over the years, as Bill had, your transparent attempts to manipulate the political arena. I don’t want my husband’s memorial service to be another opportunity for that and I will not tolerate anyone turning this into a platform for political gain. Please honor my families request.
Sincerely, Beverly Young Widow of Congressman Bill Young
It's guys like Crist that are the real reason the GOP has problems. Crist managed to expose himself totally. Many others have not although the debt ceiling battle did make things smokey for them.
Make your time. I am a Drum Major for Justice, Peace, and Righteousness. Beware the battle cattle but don't fear the battle cattle.

"I’ve been at many political funerals and listened to locals standing in groups planning their strategies. God gave people souls, but some don’t know to take advantage of that God given gift.”-Beverly Young
She is right she doesn't care about PC-ness. WTG Beverly!
TM is something far, far worse.. I'd advise you all not to hang around with me.
Young lost consciousness a couple of days before he died. His last conversation was with President George W. Bush, who called to thank Young for his dedication, as a top budget appropriator, for the armed forces.
At the end, Bush told Young he loved him. Said Mrs. Young: "He said, 'George, I love you, too.' "
