Please email or call all your representatives and thank them.
Also call the Governor and thank him for not running for another term. He would never make it after all the stuff he pulled just in the last 2 years. And please don't forget what he has done for us.....or rather what he has NOT done for us when he attempts to run for some other public office....l don't even want him to succeed at being dog-catcher. It's a good thing I'm not bitter....oh no...not me....
WOOOOHOOOOO!!! Maybe this will get somebodys attention in D.C.!!
Finally someone with the balz to put the fed in its place.
Y'all will have hopefully started a domino effect that will eventually take Our Country back.
May the South Rise Again,this time to remove Tyrants from Washington,DC,instead of
just Fort Sumter.YEEEEHAWW!!!
