The media doesn't do a very good job of exposing the tragedy of thoroughbred horse racing; the fact that they are drugged, pushed to their limits, raced too young and then retired to slaughter. I think anyone with a heart will realize that this has got to stop. The question is where to start?? Thank you for your comments – I couldn’t agree more.

You are so brave Mary Ann. I too have felt passionately about Obama since the beginning, but I am one one those secretive voters. I usually keep my opinions to myself out of fear of being challenged by some hot-headed conservative. I get e-mails almost daily from the Obama campaign and while sending in money is no problem, I can never respond to the ones asking me to actively get involved. My shyness always wins out! I'm proud of you and I really admire your efforts. See you(and your teeth) soon- Monica What a great post! You are so brave Mary Ann.

You feel just like overalls tumbling in a washing machine. You need balance BECAUSE it feels so great. Usually we are somewhere in between balance and unbalance. I am off balance about driving now... LOVE, Bettie Mary Ann,

Did you ever get tumbled by a wave in ocean as a child? You feel just like overalls tumbling in a washing machine. You need balance BECAUSE it feels so great. Usually we are somewhere in between balance and unbalance.

I am off balance about driving now…

LOVE, Bettie
