  1. Hello,

    Please do something about all of those horrible immigrants in Pueblo, they are bringing in gangs, and making the community unsafe for our children!

    Also, we are tired of soldiers continuing to abandon their families to fight against mean people, bring them home! Stop sending them to other countries!
