Thanks folks, have gotten your emails and replied! :good:
oleblueraider - April 22, 2007 07:52 PM (GMT)
Well Folks, sooner or later????
I have lost my internet connection at home and I ust now check emails at the MTSU library once a day. That will be a relief spell to many of you. :!: :mad:
I had to let it go because of the truth I will share with you.
My grandson's father was failing classes due to being up all night with all types of chat, filth, etc, you know the story. :mad:
This same behavior is why their marriage broke up and to his small defense, the mother still does the same thing! Did ya know how you can make money showing our body on the NET??????
Anyway, I must tough love attempt to control this behavior by cutting the connection,
We WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE CONCERT ON 7/7/07 IN THE MEADOWLANDS.
I will be checking my emails and news once a day so my responce time will be slow, a relief to some :clap:
I can't thank allof you enough for your support and advice on this wonderful trip we have planned for our grandson. It is been very valuable to us!!!!!
Se ya soon,
How about that great news on a team being assembled??? :clap: :clap: :clap: :laugh: :good:
al001 - April 23, 2007 12:16 AM (GMT)
Blue, I'm happy the suggestions worked. Let us know how the show is for those of us who can't go.
Later,
Al

Just in case, I hope you see the story on how the Wiccan symbol was appoved for soldiers graves!
In the library at Exam time, sheeesh undergrads???
I graduate on May 5th confirmed now in the top ten percent of all graduate students nationwide. I am eligible for Pi Alpha Alpha, BUT they must inivite you to join and they tend to invite already on the big job, big shots, BUT I do qualify!
The situation with the potential of us losing our grandson is getting much worse very rapidly! I should be happy at this time, but I would trade it all for his security and safety!
We are experts at the system and what to do, but Grandparents have no rights. We may become a test case? We have had this child 60-70 documented percent of his breathing life with us in our possesion during the period of their marriage and we have had him 80 percent of his life with us during the divorce.
Our committment to him is why we became recognized and friends with Al Gore!!!!
I will take this to evidence and history when it goes down to the highest court I can reach, because I see fully that very few people/Grandparents have the documentation and time with the child that we do?
The odds still remain slim.
Thanks for your support and lets hope our man is going to take back his White House!
I just can't wait to work for his election!
I will be waving from the concert, yeah, thats me, the one with the "Give em Hell, Al" cap on!
al001 - April 23, 2007 06:51 PM (GMT)
Blue,
My deepest condolences on the rapid decline of your grandson. I cant imagine your pain. I was just yesterday blessed with a grand nephew and the possibly of losing him would devastate me. I do hope he get better. You have my prayers.
Al
oleblueraider - April 23, 2007 10:57 PM (GMT)
Oh thanks so much, but to be clear it is about custody not health!
al001 - April 23, 2007 11:23 PM (GMT)
I'm very pleased to hear it's not health but you still have my prayers in you battle. Good luck friend.
oleblueraider - April 24, 2007 06:25 PM (GMT)
Prayers work! :good:
The situation has stablized after I have cut the internet off, seized the computer, and quit providing money for no effort.
We are going to have problems going to the concert. Oh make no mistake, WE WILL GO IF WE HAVE TO HITCHIKE OR TAKE GREYHOUND! Like all of us, the cost of gas is going to kill our plans to actaully see NYC with the child. I have very deeply planted the seed of desire in him to leave the South and live in the Northern areas for many reasons! We went there on the Today show tab when he was 4 and it was just wonderful! I wished to take him to the museum in the movie, the museum of natural history. He is a high achieving child, reading at the end of 6th grade level in the 3rd grade. Finished 4th grade math in the 3rd grade, etc! He has wished to see a really good museum for awhile now! The castle in Central park is dead across from that museum as well and we still have a chance, but gas is going to kill us all. It will take 8 tanks of gas (10 gallon tank) in a 30 mpg car to make the trip.
HEY IT IS ALL GOOD, YOU BET IT IS :good: We are going to the show!
The father of my grandson has low self esteem. Despite my best postive re-inforcement of him, it has not improved. He is tied up with a woman 10 years older than him. Now there I go, like being older is the problem? The problem is that she is not a decent person. Providing him money to get drunk, much less that he found her online begging for sex! A decent woman would be upset that he failed classes and use her good influence to tell him to do better, not encourage more illicit behavior.
Folks, if any of you wish me to stop this personal talk, just say so! :good: (Really, I will not be upset! I guess it is kinda like a blog now???
I hold on to the fact that I have met many good and kind and caring people from all incomes of life! I hold on to what the smartest person on Prof Gores staff was kind enough to teach me! As long as I have breath, I can be a positive watchdog, mentor, and angel for this child. Life means hope! I just fear and scare too easy!
I feel that just perhaps if I tell it; it may relate to someone, somehow in a postive manner. I am holding most of it back.
It is about grandparent rights. Not about grandparents who see their grandchild once a month and did ya know that the majority of grandparents do not see their grandchild that much!
I have become an expert on this subject do to the need.
Only 25 percent see their grandchild once a month. By the way, just in case. he number one thing you can do to see and be involved in your grandchildrens lives is to live no further than 25 miles from them!
I adore, simply changed my life for the much better, did my love for my grandson! :good:
I stress with all importance for your own mental well being NOT to get too close to your grandchild except to save their lives or the quality of their life. Not to keep them from being poor, to keep them from being ignored, neglected, and WEll---the textbook appalachian family on the other side that we did stop thinks you only do one thing for a child, water them! :wtf:
I am serious! When we first met them, two of their children ages 12 and 13 never knew which homes couch would allow them to sleep on it that night. After all, they had been watered.
Anyway, tread very careful or the wisdom of the ages tells you in all affairs, GUARD YOUR HEART CAREFULLy.

oleblueraider - April 30, 2007 05:32 PM (GMT)
OK, I am finally saying this here because this is a low profile website :P
Did ya see the story on the attempt, the real attempt to kill Gore as VP in Saudi Arabia as reported by Tenet :?:
Well, here is my secret fear; Should Gore run and be elected and then killed, it would fulfill the Tecumseh curse that I don't think was negated just because Reagan missed death by one minute :?:
Any leader is subject to this threat, but Gore's election will drive many pure crazy, all types and cultures???
I won't mention it again, but it is one of the reasons I am happy just to have him enjoy life and leave the mess to someone else!
Wayne in WA State - April 30, 2007 06:51 PM (GMT)
Hey Oleblueraider!
None of us enjoys being hurt, believe me I know. But seriously you aren't saying that we should NOT get too close to our grandkids to protect our own mental health. Doesn't the grandchilds need for grandparents come first?
I'm just sayin'; sure we have fears but I don't want Al Gore or any of you to let them control your decisions.
:kenny:
oleblueraider - April 30, 2007 07:43 PM (GMT)
Hey Wayne, good question.
Absolutely, no doubt, grandparents in their lives is a huge positive BUT--
You have NO RIGHTS. NONE-ZIP nothing.
If things are not so bad that the state itself would seize the child, then you can not even see the child after you make that intense bonding effort. It hurts badly!
You have to eat, neglect, not caring, ignoring, warehousing the grandchild and if you complain, they can stop you totally legally from talking to a child you adore!
I am saying, guard your heart! I am so deep in love with my grandson, it scares me the lower class things I might do if provoked. Now as long as I have hope that my continued life means hope for the child, I am under control and will play the game BUT
I know me, 90 days of despondence by that child, to have to see him possible abandon all hope himself and I am a news story!
So I am saying, just don't get so deep that you can't walk away?
You have no rights. We have had this child the overwhleming, complete vast provable majority of his life. Everyone know we are his true parents. Literally dozens of professioanls from all fields and walks of life, but to no avail?
In a court of law, as long as both parents remain alive, we could lose so badly that we would never see him again? The very best in a dogfight you can hope for is two vists on a weekend a year guaranteed, etc.
I am just saying all that!

Here's the link to that awful story. :bad:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18357494/
Wayne in WA State - May 1, 2007 06:14 AM (GMT)
Blue, it is a tough situation... with no perfect answers.
Generally speaking the parents are the guardians of the child and grandparents have no rights unless they have been granted custody by the courts. I'm not sure how the law could or should be modified. Remember little Elian Gonzales from Cuba who caused that big ruckus in Florida a few years back when Janet Reno sent him back to his father..
Most of the time in reasonalbly healthy families it is not an issue; parents usually welcome the involvement of grandparents in the childs life. In fact, an awful lot of kids these days are being raised by their grandparents, whether they have custody or not. Unfortunately for you oleblueraider, you are in one of those situations where the parents don't put the well-being of your grandson first. He should have the experience of bonding with you without the threat of that ever being taken away. Whatever happens with his mom and dad you will always be his grandpa. You have my thoughts with you that things will work out for everyone involved.
As you know Al and Tipper are experts in the field of family psychology and sociology as well. I recommend reading the Gore's book Joined at the Heart. It hasn't recieved the attention it deserves.
oleblueraider - May 1, 2007 06:01 PM (GMT)
Wayne uhh, it isn't clear????
But our story starts on pages 74 in the chapter titled Love and runs through page 79. My ugly face is on page 118 and we are referenced in the index throughout the book :clap:
2.5 million grandparents are rasing their grandchildren currently. There are 300 such families in our census track alone.
We are blessed to be on the young end of those grands!
We are in terror, because we are not included in those 2.5 million stats! Our son is the link. He has custody, but in name only. It has always been that way. Legally, all this time he has been a single father, what a crock :laugh: :mad: :bad:
He has done one thing, he seized him legally and brought him to us and he has thrived. I could fill the page with my grandsons high achievments! :good:
I will endure, I will take to the high road until I lose all hope, but I fear every day that the rug will be pulled out from under him.
Make no mistake, I wish he was with his FATHER and a Stepmother who was a decent human being! I wish his mother cared at all about him! This is not the case on either side.
That is all I can say legally without it blowing up in my face.
Wayne in WA State - May 1, 2007 07:18 PM (GMT)
:blink: Doh!!
Sorry buddy. Now I have put two and two together. The last time I read the book I wasn't aware of everyones names.
oleblueraider - May 2, 2007 06:47 PM (GMT)
Hey Wayne, I am sorry as well, I can't help but be proud to be in that book :clap:
But on another subject that caused me to run here to begin with;
Has it not been that one month that someone promised on another Gore site until we all saw the fruit of the changes that brought down the smartest, most vibrant net community I ever saw :?:
I sure hope we can all unite soon with a common cause of getting Prof Gore elected, just as soon as I am certain he wishes that :good:

Congratulations Oleblueraider!
My apologies if I have been away for a few days. :construction:
You will do well Blue :good: Working for the people of TN is an honorable profession. I can think of someone who served as Representative and then Senator who I particullarly admire. :lol:
As to algore.org ... what the hey??
Changes that we never asked for were made. Wonderful things were promised that never happened; it's been adrift for two months with no one at the helm...
I wish someone could do something, but that would require the approval of the owner of the site. If DM cannot be active at this time then I wish he would allow others involved in the cause to step in.
The old forum does still exist as an achive. Dylan, in light of the last several weeks, I ask that you consider renaming the old forum (AlGoreForum.org :Y: ) and re-activating it under the wise guidance of earthmother. It could be done in a day with the will to do so.
please
earthmother - May 8, 2007 02:22 PM (GMT)
Dylan will not revive the old forum. I was told it would cost several thousand dollars to do that. Don't ask me why.
oleblueraider - May 23, 2007 07:01 PM (GMT)
Hey folks, a few comments from the MTSU library computer. I will not have home access again unless my son gets straight?
First, did everyone lose Larry King during the last 15 minutes of the show last night with Gore :?: :o
We lost the headline newschannel as well---hmmmmn. I assume the west coast got the entire show?
I lament that I don't even need to read the "Assualt on Reason." I know every stance, every line, every thought process, etc! I have listened to this book being expressed in numerous events, classes, etc with Gore over the past couple of years!
You would think with the knowledge I have of him on issues that I could do something with it, but alas that is not yet to be. Boy I bet I could convince a local newspaper to make me a DC reporter if he were elected President.
Lastly, here I set with a MPA in government, a Cert in Health Administration/planning and a GPA that puts me in the top ten percent of all college graduates from graduate school and it means little to nothing!
There are no jobs open requiring those credentials that do not also insist and rightly so on at least one year on the job experience!
Even at that excuse, it comes back to Warren Buffet and his observations after trying to use his fortune to change lives?
ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHO YA KNOW!!!! Or as Warren said, which family you are born into. That actually determines who ya know!
I have been the test case for ---"Can education actually lift someone up the ladder in the USA." NOPE, oh sure you can point out an anecdote here and there but the elites in charge must choose to let you enter their domain.
You must monkey entertain them, let them feel supeior to you, let them know how eternally gratefull you are for them daring to allow you entry to their world, etc!
Now this is NOT the case with Gore, but Gore is not an employment agency! besides he is responsible for my addition to the wisdom of who ya know!
It is not only WHO YA KNOW BUT WHO YA KNOW WITH GOOD TIMING!
Doesn't mater to know Gore and have him really pulling for you if he is out of power during that period now does it? Besides, I see people collapse in his arms praying he is their last hope for a cure for some injustice and they don't even understand he has no real power anymore!
So it appears I have a shot at a job called Dis Claims 1 after the state fiscal year in July. This is a high turnover job that is considered a crap job by all. You have to have A 98 percent accuracy rate and under some time restrictions and they get rid of everyone they don't like or who can't cut it prior to the one year date of employment so that civil service protections do not guarnatee you a job there. It does not require a Masters degree! This is why is it always hiring just like my wifes job at DCS!
My wife is now on her 4th year at the crap DCS job where she listens to extreme horror stories of terrible medieval abuse to children and attempts to get our state to go out there and investigate, etc. That was her move up the ladder from selling retail at the mall????????? You can't really understand the mental anguish a woman must endure to listen to what people do to precious children over and over!
HOW CAN I TRUTHFULLY TELL MY GRANDSON THAT EDUCATION MATTERS?????
Why don't I tell him the real truth. Use your wiles, use your sassy, use your SEX to attempt to get a girl from a higher class family to fall in love with you cause that, my friends is the truth of how to succeed in life!!!
They control entry to the higher classes. Don't give me equal opportunity in the USA line, bull crap!
I have played the butter-up game as well as I can, but I am not good enough at it so far and it makes me sick anyway!
Class War, count me in!
Just how do I lie to my grandson and tell him a college degree will get him somewhere? It only will if he goes to Northern one name school like Georgetown, Princeton, Yale ,etc and then he MUST meet and impress the right families, etc and how do we pay for this opportunity if he qualifies like he is doing now when the elites will not throw us a bone to feed off of????
They are now building the largest GATED community in the South in our community. Excuse me but Johnny Cash, Al Gore, Bill Frist, etc did not feel the need to live in a gated community. You mean I can't even drive by and show my grandson a mansion cause we are that much of dirt????
Oh but don't tell it blueraider, you don't have the proper attititude blueraider, stay posittive and perhaps some elite will take pity on you? :mad: :wtf: :bad:
There ya go! Aren't you glad I don't have a home connection anymore!
Peace to my mental firends! :good:
Reverend Wally - May 23, 2007 09:56 PM (GMT)
My heartfelt congratulations, blueraider, and I hope I have a chance to meet you and tnblue when I get moved back to Tennessee. I am still working toward my bachelors degree.
:good:
TNblue - May 24, 2007 04:54 AM (GMT)
Hey Rev. Wally & Blueraider,
Blueraider, reality sucks! However, I think you know where I work. Go to the website jobline and start applying!! You won't get rich, but you will get hired and earn a decent wage....if you can stand the commute. We can discuss this more privately if you wish. I'm going out of town tomorrow for a few days and might not have internet access at "The" LAKE (Gore farm territory). -- Keep your chin up OWL, it's gonna pay off. I just finished all my coursework (4.0 GPA!!!!!) and am an Intern now. We can make it better!!
Rev. Wally, come on back to TN. I sense it's turned a shade of purple. Still a little reddish, but the blue is starting to change the shade.--I'd love to meet you. Good luck with your classes. It's hard going to class with students whose parents are younger than you are (talking about myself). I'm the only one who "got it" when one of my professors who was my age would tell jokes and show clips with Steve Martin on Saturday Night Live from the 70s to illustrate a point. -- Hurry. I saw my first bumper sticker to vote for Fred Thompson for president today. :bad:
oleblueraider - May 24, 2007 06:13 PM (GMT)
REV Wally, I hope I do get to meet you :good: :clap: :coolwink:
I bet we can have some great discussions and not always agree by a long shot, but also agree very much on some important things, life as well as politics :good:
Tnblue, I love you girl and I don't think I should be well off or rich due to a Master's degree, but I do think I should have a fair shot based on merit and hard earned effort instead of who ya know with good timing, etc.
That is my lament, that a poor child or person who kicks ass and does better every time when going head to head with a well off child or person still gets left out in the lurch. I just don't think that should be the American way???? :wtf:
I just fear for my grandson folks??? He is going to be left alone in this world early. Only a non-caring cold hearted father and same kind of mother and they may die before my wife and I do they live such a self destructive lifestyle. My son is 32 and failed a physical to weed eat grass for the city do to his heartrate, a physical that I (a 54 year old) passed to drive a truck just two months ago. I keep my CDL just in case I have to truck drive again???
If education is not going to pay off for me, how can I tell him it will sustain him knowing that he has no other option anyway, but I just wish I could prove it makes a difference??? :mad:
Tnblue, my wife and pour over the job listings every day. I would love to be a food stamp case worker, I am qualified for almost anything, but they are not hiring in this region????
I will keep trying? Is it to much to ask to get a job making $25,000 a year in TN :?: Shoot I can't even get a job selling booze at the liquor store, don't know the owner etc???
It is who ya know with good timing and it makes me disgusted!
TNblue - May 24, 2007 06:43 PM (GMT)

I know the feeling. I was raised by a "welfare Mother" and decided early on that I would try not to be like that. BUT ....
Because I was born with a tin spoon in my mouth, and my family was poor .... you might guess the rest.
Now I am old and have to try to stretch $731 per month to cover everything.
And to top it off, I got side-slammed by a crew of crooked insurance company lawyers and a conservative judge in Davidson County in my disability workman's comp lawsuit and after waiting 3 years for a settlement got only enough to cover everyone's inflated charges.
I barely get by, and only because my oldest daughter and her husband let me move in with them.
Sadly, and I hate this, I had to leave Nashville owing my landlord 12000 dollars in back rent. Thank God he was understanding of my predicament.
Am I bitter .... HELL YES .... !
But, even though it slams me in the face everyday when I wake up, I try to NOT dwell on it.
Until G W Bush stole the election and my hopes in 2000 I actually had a bank account going and was trying to save enough to buy a home. That dream is bust.
:mad:
Some days I actually hate the whole human race

Some times I feel the exact same way and it goes beyond my hatred for Bush and his evil family. Right now, I'm stuck in a town with people who don't care about anything, They're lazy, lots of healthy dole getters, they don't vote, do drugs, spread gossip, put people down who love animals, been a victim of that, have rude kids. No depth, no concerns. Don't give a damn about the 2008 election or anything that is going on in this distressed world. :(
I have to admit, I hate these people almost as much as I hate Bush. :angry:
oleblueraider - May 25, 2007 07:22 PM (GMT)
Rev Wally, I bet I would know and understand what happened to you in Davidson county way too well, I mean on a first name basis with the players that screwed you!
Al Gore is my life, DITTO DITTO DITTO :good: :good: :mad:
Too many days I hate the entire human race and then someone from my church, (not to tout church cause just last session, my grandson set with me while the rich folks set behind us going on and on laughing carousing about their California Disneyland vactions, etc, while I know my grandson dreams naive magic kids wishes of going to such a place!!!) :mad:
Anyway, then someone decent comes along and reminds me like the Gores themsleves do that; oh well 20 percent of well off to rich folks try their very best to give back, to understand, to put the bootstrap in your hand when you are so far down you can't reach it!
There was the little league coach my grandson had the last three years that worked his tail off being a role model for the whole team, now followed by a Bubba jerk that I would love to choke to death!
THERE ARE GOOD DECENT COMMITTED WELL-OFF AND RICH FOLKS, but they are an extreme minority!
It is very hard not to despise them all! We are not supposed to say it my friends, itis unseemly, not PC, etc,\
BUT I THANK YOU ALL FOR TELLING ME THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THESE VILE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MAJORITY OF FOLKS.
You know when someone goes off anymore and kills anyone, I never rush to judge they were totally crazy or whatever, that is sad for me????
I must try to be positive for my grandson, but then reality jumps all over me and I feel he is doomed????
"I see all good people every day, so satisifed they are own their way."
oleblueraider - June 2, 2007 06:59 PM (GMT)
A small report on the book signing in Nashville and the press coverage.
It got more attention than the AIT book signing did! It was on all news channels and in extra detail and MORE FAIR in my opinion!
Two out of four news channels reported that Gore stated in a more positive manner the chance that he may run in 2008? They said he said----that he was not by any means ruling out a run for president in 2008.
A Small consideration, but shoot we are grasping at straws. It appeared from the reports that the push to get him to run by draft or whatever was successful and in full force at the event--(Sorry EM, but it was reported and shown on film to be a huge part of the event and the people shown were cast in a postive light as well, so that I would give a huge success to the effort on those folks behalf!). They got the job done in a positive manner and it reflected well in the media on all involved in that effort right down to a 5-7 year old girl asking him to run for her sake. (great coverage/film!).
Tipper was there and looked radiant and in campaign shape as well which is important to a huge degree. Tipper has appeared to be at the top of her game for a long spell now!
WE WILL BE GOING TO THE CONCERT IN EAST RUTHERFORD. We will only be able to drive up and attend the show and look at the Manhattan skyline from Jersey. It will cost us at least $350.00 in fuel to make the round trip alone and that is in a 94 Saturn. Please pray for us that we do not breakdown!!! We have no rescue for us at all, no one or way to get home or lodging should we break down, much less the taught impact by Prof Gore of a car breakdown on my chances to secure that job I am so needing!
We realize that it is important to be there in person to physically make the crowd vocal and full for reporting purposes and I have always supported the Prof when there were only 50 people or less attending. I sure intend to support this effort as well by attending, but it is a immature gamble of sorts. I hope the Rock n Roll Gods take care of us?
With a Little luck, perhaps I can get my grandson and us to Central Park for a small time prior to the concert in the am, cause we really do not wish to see the entire show, it is only about money of course!
We are planning to go to the New Years Eve crystal ball drop at Times Square on 12/31/2008 to 2009!!!!! As soon as I obtain a job, I will save for that event until then. I understand that you have to get there early on that Eve and stand there until midnight but I always wished to do it and my grandson wishes to as well, SO BE IT!
I hope that for the rest of his life that whenever he see that standard report of the NYC ball Times square drop, he will smile and remember we made it happen for him so he can always say, YEP, BEEN THERE DONE THAT!
My grandson is adamant that he hopes to attend a northern college and he wishes to live and work in the Northeast region of the nation as well. You just gotta love a child that wishes to visit NYC instead of Disneyworld, now don't ya???
I will persevere in my job search, I am alive and well enough, I just get the blues from time to time, but after 3 days or so I come back out fighting! It is very hard folks; to come from nothing to anything. Some of you know that too well, some of you assume it is easier than it is, but Prof Gore understands and I will not let him or many of you down.
I thank you all for your emotionaL support. It is funny, but Prof Gore stated to me in class when I was ranting about the dark side of the net because of the negative impact it has had on my grandson and many families----well he said, but Rodney it has the potential to create social communities of like minded people than can make a impact difference of real IMPACT and importance between folks who would have never found each other!
He alludes to and I have talked with him that he can run for Pres in 2016 and be younger than Reagan when he was elected! He thinks that in perhaps by the 2012 election that the Internet can then have the true impact in all arenas that he thinks the nation needs to right itself!
Now the iron is hot for him now, but to lose again ever will be the end of him forever. I assume that you go with the hot iron now, but it is not out of the question that he could run in those later years???
I also at first thought that Thompson would be a huge blow against him BUT it will come out that Thompson will be exposed as a bush shill, He is actually almost worse than bush, a real states rights fella. That means all of the negative things that go with states rights and the problems that the people actually care about currently are SS, health Care, the earth climate and IRAQ. All these problems require the federal Government to take the huge lead on solving.
Also Gore is in the textbooks as the Man who reduced the size of Government and made it run better as well; NOT REAGAN AND IT IS EVEN TAUGHT THAT WAY BY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN PROFS. They have to because he actually did re-invent government, made it work better for less cost and people, etc and since he was the only man ever to do so they have to use his example, EAT THAT CONSERVATIVE REPUG SMIRKERS! :laugh: :clap: :laugh: :clap: :good:
Gotta run, got a ball game with the grandson. I will wave to you from the concert, look for me---hahahahaha!

(Sorry EM, but it was reported and shown on film to be a huge part of the event and the people shown were cast in a postive light as well, so that I would give a huge success to the effort on those folks behalf!). They got the job done in a positive manner and it reflected well in the media on all involved in that effort right down to a 5-7 year old girl asking him to run for her sake. (great coverage/film!). |
Sorry, EM? :?: I don't understand your comment, blueraider. I already wrote that the folks in Nashville did an incredible job and showed such loyalty, dedication and ingenuity that it brought tears to my eyes when I got the report. THEY WERE AMAZING! :clap:
I hadn't heard the reports about the news coverage, however. That's even more amazing! But that's what I've been saying about our organization and campaign. We are a group of dedicated people who will do whatever it takes to get our man in the White House. We are just grassroots, but together, we can move mountains. :good:

I did not men to imply anything derogatory about those folks or you EM??
Only to apoligize for my stance on such actions and to report that regardless as you have reported, it went off very well indeed! :clap:

I thought I reported that it went very well, at least after I got the report from our people in Nashville. :?:
No matter. I'm just glad it went so well! :clap:
