I agree Scott, but I felt I needed to respond on behalf of RailPAC because BOB2's (whoever that is?) comments distorted the fact so much or were downright lies. TRAC & RailPAC were once one group, but broke apart for reason long forgotten in the 80's RailPAC made several attempts to get the two groups back together, but to no success. There were folks of good fair on the TRAC board in favor, but they ended up leaving TRAC becasue of the actions of some of the TRAC diehards.

All RailPAC got for its efforts was to be sued by TRAC. But even that was counterproductive as the suit was dropped.

If that's you conclusion fine. But whenever BOB2 or anyone else takes a swipe at RailPAC I'm going to respond with the fact and the truth. After all Scott what would you do in the same sitution?

As for no belong to either group, then your really not helping are you?

Please tell me what empire I'm building? or in fairness what empire BOB2 is trying to build.
