Just over a week ago, I along with fifty other Tennesseans boarded a charter bus and began a five hour trek to the front lines of the 2012 fight for the Presidency. We arrived in southwestern Ohio at roughly 10 PM EST that Friday night. Upon our arrival to our hotel, we received our room assignments and initial instructions.

I won’t get to spend the next few days or celebrate the New Year with them this year. I’m OK with that, because I have some things I need to tell you | Read More »
