I removed "She claims to be a Roman Catholic, but this is contradicted by her position on abortion" as this is a very controversial statement. It implies that being Catholic naturally rules out being pro-choice. I don't know what her view is on abortion, or anything about her faith. It also implies that being Catholic, but pro-choice, is somehow hypocritical.

I don't know if I'm putting this note in the right place, but I wanted to tell other Wikipedians who might be working on this article that I'm helping to copyedit it. So far I've finished the Introduction and the first two sections. Kathy (talk) 04:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Just for clarity: The first paragraph above, about removing a controversial sentence, is not mine. There were no initials, so it looked like my note was part of it. I do agree with what he or she wrote, though (whoever wrote it). Kathy (talk) 04:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I just spent several hours reworking the Policy and Issues section. I removed the banner that said the section needed extra work for grammar, cohesion, etc. I think it's much better now, but it still does not read as smoothly as I would like. I think I've done as much as I can with it, though, so if anyone else wants to take a look at it, feel free. 69.249.39.224 (talk) 21:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First amendment lasted only this far?

The nepotism issue is totally censored from this article. The founding fathers likely propeller in their graves. They would curse USA if they saw this happen. 82.131.210.162 (talk) 09:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
