It's a real mystery to most as to the source of financial support for consolidation. It seems that this measure will suffer a worse defeat than Willie Herenton experienced in his recent congressional race.

      <![CDATA[There are at least two things that must happen in Shelby county in order to return the birthplace of my siblings to the US of A. Neither of them have anything remotely to do with running new, different or better Democratic candidates, despite d-Tenn's patronizing and self-serving CHA comments. <br>
<br>
1) Everyone (regardless of party) who cares about the consent of the governed as the only legitimate foundation for all our governments in this country need to demand that the FBI and the US Department of Justice get to Memphis right away to impound the voting equipment, tear it apart, document the fraud and begin rounding up the (by now) usual suspects.

      <![CDATA[Memphis Watchdog I have to agree with you. The Democratic Executive Committee Members have "NO" influence and "NO" power that's why they will be unseated on next election and bring in "REAL DEMOCRATS"  that want to be about the buisness of their constituents and not about themselves.<br>
<br>
The Party Is Red, White and Blue  "YELLOW DOG DEMOCRATS"...It is time to take back our "PARTY"...The Games Are Over!!!
