Like most of you, I've gotten too busy to keep close track of all the
Presidential campaigners and their instantaneous stances on the major issues.
So here at Humal Labs we've compiled a Quik Presidential Issue Stance Summary
Reference Card (called the Quik PISSER card for short). Laminated versions of
the cards are forthcoming as soon as the various flip-flopping and waffling
settles down. Please note that like the candidates stances themselves, the
QuikPIsSR info is subject to change without notice or reason. We hope that
with this card you will be better informed in November when you are selecting
another country in which to live.
Sincerely,
