Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on how grateful we are for the many blessings in our lives. You are all so important and special to this movement and I feel blessed and honored to share in this journey with you.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is about gratitude, not commercialism. None of us thought 3 years ago we would be embarking on a journey to save our elections, let alone our country but reality has a way of smacking us in the face at times. We woke up. We saw that something wasn’t quite right and we decided to do something about it. God has brought us all together at this time and we answered his call.
At times it has been hard, painful, scary, and not particularly rewarding. On the other hand, we have met great friends for life and we have learned so much about how our elections (and our government) works. We have had unique experiences and learned some great life lessons.
And we haven’t and won’t give up. We persist in the fight. Why? We love our country and we want a free and decent place for the future of our kids and grandkids. We don’t want to see our country devolve into 15-minute cities where we lose our essential freedoms--- or as Klaus Schwab states, “you will own nothing and be happy.” We also want to feel that we can speak our mind, choose our path, and elect, not select, those people who represent our interests and ideals. If we fix our elections, we are able to do the will of the people and thus we will prosper. Fix elections, and you fix a lot of longstanding toxic issues in our nation, cities, schools and culture.
I often liken our team and our supporters to a carefully crafted quilt. Every person has a unique talent or gift that they weave into the mix to create a beautiful motif. So many of you have stepped up and taken initiative. So many of you have supported our lawsuit either financially or through prayers or attending our hearings. As we spread our message of safe, secure elections we add more like-minded people who care and want to take a stance. We add fabric and texture to the quilt. We add family.
United we are unstoppable; we can respectfully, thoughtfully and peaceably take a stand to change our state elections. On January 9,2024 we will all go to the statehouse to peacefully rally on the first day of session. Our legislators need to know that the people around the state want a better, more transparent, accurate, trustworthy system for voting. And they need to act. We want to get hundreds of people there that day. We hope to see you all there from 10 AM to noon that day. We will have several speakers and we may even have a demo of how hand-marked ballots can be counted in an efficient way. Save the date we want to see you there!

Heartfelt thanks to all of you and all that you have done, no matter how small. You are more special than you know. I am humbled and blessed by all of you. We will make history and we will have stories to tell our grandkids about this pivotal time in our nation’s history. Stay healthy, happy, peaceful and filled with blessings this holiday season.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)
Lots of love and gratitude,
