Find people who live in the Quincy area and make sure Sen Sullivan gets
reelected!!!!!!!! He was solid gold for us today!!!!!! And I'm a Republican
but certainly appreciate a blue dog dem stepping up to the plate to put
these AR people in their place. God I would love to have been a bug on those
walls. today////////// All those big shots reading and copying my
handwritten notes. Who knew.....It took me five hours to read and re read
and write and then rewrite up those notes because I hate to type.
Rita
