Teachers Get Big Gift From GOP

Why is it that every time I hear of Barclay getting the backing of some group, there appears to be something in it for them? First the Corrections Officers (hell yes, give me $150 to miss a day at work and I'll support anyone you tell me to) and now this? And he intends to appeal the judges ruling, he is quick to point out a misprint in Aubertines filing yet he doesn't know where he is (boilermakers not Bio Fuels in Oswego) but he is allowed to make mistakes, I guess--not so for Aubertine according to Bark-lay's hounds.

His antics have made up my mind for me. Thank you for making my choice easier.
