president hayes

President Hayes was the nineteenth President of the United States (1877-1881)

Today is the birthday of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, 19th President of the United States. Hayes attempts at nation healing by removing troops from the South, resulted in re-entrenchment of bigoted leaders.

President Hayes was elected by one electoral vote after the highly disputed election of 1876, when he lost the popular vote to his opponent, Samuel Tilden.

George Bush and his backers would rather send half a trillion to Iraq than spend a fraction of that here to keep our kids healthy. Do you think Hayes should stand up and overide Bush?
