Program number 15 was "caller driven."  Callers talked about a variety of local, state, and national issues.  The "NAFTA" highway was brought up when a state issue was mentioned that could authorize the state of Florida to lease toll roads and bridges to private investors.  Opposition from the U.N. to banish the use of Taser Guns also generated calls.  Supporters of Ron Paul called to express that support.  Fred Thompson's name came up regarding his appearance on FOX News Sunday.  Marion County Sheriff's Office expenditures were also a subject mentioned in this broadcast.
