Sorry, Mr. Lincoln, but "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people" has just perished, made amply clear by the secret dealings of the collusive "Gang of Eight" that is about to force an amnesty plan down the unwilling people's throats ("Immigration agreement 'very close' in Congress; guest workers still a hurdle," Web, Wednesday).
