Thank You, Rep. Barton

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Thank you, Rep. Barton for saying what many of us are feeling and want to say, but don’t have the platform.

This is a response to a letter to the editor that was published in the Jamestown Sun on 9/23/2008.  You can read the letter here.  That’s the print version, so hopefully it will stay up for a while.
