Governor Sanford of South Carolina feels that to be fiscally responsible, he should not accept any stimulous money from the Federal Government.
Watch the video and you will see a good reason that he should.

Here is another video about an 18 year old girl that is sueing the Governor in an attempt to force him to accept the money. Governor Sanford is calling the lawsuit a political stunt.

1. Can someone name those counties and give school addresses?

After Katrina I went to rummage sales buying books and mailing them to their schools. I would like to do the same to one of the schools in that area. I have little faith that the legislators of SC are going to do much about this problem.

2. "Governor Sanford is calling the lawsuit a political stunt."

And I call the Governor a political jerk.

5. Thank you. Our ancestors came from South Carolina - Quakers

who moved on because of slavery. It is fitting that we help some of the children still there. Sending books is not much but it is all I can do.

4. Dude, you're in South Carolina, what did you expect

If you want to be mad at anyone be mad at your parents for not having the good goddamned sense to move to North Carolina.
