		<description><![CDATA[Special Interests abound in today&#8217;s society. You have the &#8216;Open Borders&#8216; group, the &#8216;Free Trade&#8216; group, the &#8216;Cheap Labor&#8216; group and yes, you have the &#8216;Religious Groups&#8216; such as the Evangelical group who think they own the Republican Party.

Yes I know not all employers in the States offers benefits to families of employees, however, for those who do, they can easily discriminate against Gays.
