<<> '' If and when gold sales are approved by the U.S. Congress

If congress can justify keeping Clinton,they certainly can dump gold>>

Oh, how quickly I would agree EXCEPT, this thing is drawn along different lines than just party. Do you really think either of the Democratic Senators from Nevada(who were willing to speak out against Clinton's gold sales & are up for re-election) will vote for gold sales - with precious metal mining jobs at a 50 year low? Even the Democratic Congresswoman from Downtown Denver a maybe the liberal from Boulder(due to South Africa) is afraid of the local gold lobby. Some Democrats in MI(and other big Union States dislike them from a labor standpoint - Labor is big time against gold sales. Forget about getting 85% of Republicans & none from any western state except CA.
Did you know there is a (shut down)gold mine in W.VA. and another in KY? Check out the numbers of out of work miners in NM(a state far below these record employment times?

Just Ain't going to fly in many rural areas, Western areas, Union areas, Republican districts, and some heavily black areas(Rev. Desmond Tutu & Rev. Jessie Jackson has been speaking out against).
