Mobile, AL
(part of AL-1 (Jerry Carl))

ezs note:  Here in Connecticut, things are really OK for me.  Even with Trump coming in the White House, there is a solid wall protecting me and others.  However, I realize that things aren't so lucky for others.  Not all Republicans are so dense - but they make up a LARGE majority.  Which is where YOU come in.  At the VERY least, you should call or email YOUR Congressperson.  If he/she visits your area, go if at all possible and SPEAK.  

Why?  Because it's YOUR right - don't throw it away!

Alabama - Sigma Delta Chi, Best Radio Public Service -- "Alabama Human Trafficking" Alabama Public Radio

Press

Alabama Public Radio


Mobile, AL


please press:  www.apr.org

ezs note:  I have to say that the Sigma Delta Chi award is the best, bar none.  These intrepid reporters dug up human trafficking from around the state.  They presented a powerful, sobering piece.  For those of us with a particular interest in mind, scroll to about 3/4 of the piece, then read there.  I urge all Alabamians to attend your town or city hall meeting and speak up.
