Ethics group calls for probe into email

Source: Durango Herald

Colorado Ethics Watch, a liberal-leaning organization, sent a letter to 6th Judicial District Attorney Todd Risberg on Tuesday afternoon seeking an investigation into the email sent by Chris Smith, owner of the Visiting Angels senior home-care facility in Pagosa Springs.

This little guy should be in jail as another example of what happens when you play with fire. Only after many of these people from the dark ages are sent to jail will there be CHANGE.

I am so glad my generation was the generation of FREE SPEECH. I guess history does repeat it self when there is EVIL in this world.

COOK THE BASTARDS UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME.......
