Awesome Letter to Local Paper: Vandals can't stop celebration
I love getting published. Especially when the letter I write is an awesome one like this one.


Vandals can't stop celebration
Easton Express-Times - Sunday, January 25, 2009
Did anyone see me dancing in the streets at the Gazebo on Main Street in Hackettstown on Inauguration Day? I had an "Unidos con Obama/Biden" sign with me. Thank you to so many people in the cars, vans, trucks and big tractor-trailers who beeped, waved and blew their horns and sirens at me! Only about a half a dozen people in 45 minutes refused to look at me, gave me a frown or some other negative look.

I am sorry someone felt it necessary to tear down the sign I had put up on my corner in Independence the following morning. They left a lot of it up there, so they were obviously not interested in cleaning up the community. When is this going to stop in Warren County? When will the Obama opposers learn that they can't just go around breaking any law they feel like in order to stop what is going to happen in the next four years?

Oh well, the real work begins now. Viva Obama and God bless America!

5. Haha no,
I'm originally from there, but I'm away for college now in DC. So unfortunately, I missed your event in the Gazebo, but I got to see the real thing :)
