Maybe under her married name?
I dunno,
By the look of things, looks like Murray is a serious contender for the U.S. Senate Seat.
Good Deal, I always knew he was.
looking at issues
From Dr Sabrin last year:
• If any released convict should commit a crime, the repeat offender will not be sent to prison where he learns how to become a better criminal in a dehumanizing institution. Repeat offenders will lose their citizenship, even if they are native-born Americans, and be deported. Isn't it better to rid our society of potential killers than risk the possibility they may kill any more youngsters or adults? In short, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
• Decriminalize drug use. Drug use is enough punishment.
____________________________________________________________
While the recidivism rate would be greatly reduced if drugs were decriminalized, fully 2/3 of convicts are rearrested within 3 years of their release and better than 50% are convicted. That is a lot of people any way you slice it. It's not that I don't like the idea of deporting our worst criminals, but deported to where? Somehow I don't think any one's going to take them.
I think its safe to say
I think its safe to say based on this poll, that Murray IS the contender now for the U.S. Senate seat.
