Labels don't mater, frames mater. In an election you must own the frame. You must define the frame. We all know the issues and we we and our opponents stand. Do you support the troops? Yes.

This is part of an effort led by Christian fundamentalist Bakersfield Councilwoman Sullivan from her non-profit, In God We Trust - America.

Under the common Rule of Law which all civilized nations agree, a person may not be picked up from the streets of this country by operatives from another country and then spirited to that other country by these operatives to face prosecution in that other country.
This is no longer the operational Rule of Law.
