Program

Our speaker today was Tish Blasdell.  Tish is the lead agent for Howard Hanna at the Firestone Farms development in Columbiana.

Thought to ponder...

You consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations each month during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

 The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion:  We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.
