[Dialogue] Five Point Program

[William Alerding]

Jim,  That is a powerful and well-thought  through 5 pt, plan. Is there 
anyway you can print this up and get it out to the general public? 
Every politician worth his or her salt should adopt this kind of 
platform. Why not help gather other points that are as well detailed as 
yours and get it out, at least on cyberspace.
