I pray every night that Albertans will come to their senses and not vote in Klein again.....he is a monster and will stop at nothing to better himself...he doesn't give a rats ass about people....seniors and children in particular! Our education system is crumbling, I shudder to think of what he is going to do to our health care, and he is just an all around slime ball extraodinairre!

I got an interesting email today....had some good points but tried to convince the reader to vote conservative....so I just took it with a grain of salt. Please DO NOT think I support these thoughts...just wanted to share what I thought was interesting! I am NO Harper fan, thats for sure!!
