This campaign is live again

Be really forgiving and fair towards everyone you encounter 

Be one with your body 

Don’t be dependent on other people for your own happiness 

Stay positive even when life beats you down a little 

Inspire others to feel good about themselves 

Encourage your friends to be the best they can be 

Proudly own who you are and what you’re into 

Approach every situation with confidence 

Best Wishes!

“You think I’m joking. I am dead serious. You want my address? Or I’ll meet him at the airport. I am absolutely serious about this. Oh, and as the challenged party, I get to pick weapons. I choose fists.”

Another 20 seconds of somehow even deeper silence.

“I…I’ll pass your challenge on to the congressman.”

“No. He issued the challenge. I’m accepting. Unless he’s backing out like the spineless coward he is.”

More silence. “I…I’ll let Congressman Farenthold know, ma’m.”

“You do that.”
