Thank you for your good work. I will be using much of it as inspiration for the signs I am creating for our July 4th & 6th Tea Parties in Bristol. Would love to shake your hand—that’ll be me working the table for HR61: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hr61vastatesovereignty/
We’re also putting together a protest to be staged outside of Boucher’s Abingdon office. Come one, come all! Date to be determined….but so far there’s plenty of interest and sure to be more after this next weekend.
Keep up the good work! You have a growing audience!….Cathy
Thank you so very much. Boucher’s total disregard for the views of people he represents is becoming out of control. He simply will not listen to the people of the 9th District. I look forward to joining the protesst outside of Boucher’s office. Please let us know when it is planned. thank you again!
