The PBS series has been great.

She even quit the Republican Party to do it. She hated hypocrisy. Wow! My kinda gal. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe the women of the League should have stayed home with me to watch it rather than put on a secret side show. They could have learned a thing or two. No wonder the Republicans want to stop funding Public Broadcasting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just saw on the news tonight that there was a school board candidate forum held by the League of Women Voters&#8230;&#8230;.
