Now for my surprise!!!

The Vice President for Baby James Foundation and her granddaughter she is raising from abuse is on her way to our house from PA to attend the rally!! I am so excited this means a lot to me wish all the board members could attend but I understand how it is so hard for them.

Also if you all didn't notice we got media attention read more about it here. Thank You all for the support.
