It would be a really good thing if we could figure out a way to financially honor our civil rights and other heroes who sacrificed so much for us all. Any thoughts in that regard?

However, she said, the Social Security Administration ruled that the employees covered by Social Security were not able to then transfer back into the city pension system.Bedlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14694310570071135870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209387575201948685.post-34061062165559598722008-04-05T04:38:00.000-05:002008-04-05T04:38:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209387575201948685.post-29280684643971365922008-04-05T02:47:00.000-05:002008-04-05T02:47:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link love!Thanks for the link love!Kevin Andre Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842238481549571107noreply@blogger.com
