ok, another ask- hit me w your best jefferson quotes to toss in the statement. [View all]

ok, first, i want to come clean that i what i am writing is a statement for my sister, who some of you will remember was part of the blue wave that hit illinois local govts.
6 new democratic women, for a total of 7, on an 18 member suburban county board.

i have been her "head writer" for most of our adult life at one time or another, and i was totally proud to write the copy for her campaign web site.
i shopped a lot of that here on du, so you should all take a bow if you read/rec'd/replied to any of my screeds.

on the first day of the new board a spat broke out of the prayer that opened all meetings. 95% xtian, at least. big fundy population.
new member dawn desart objected.
much ink was spilled.
it comes up for a vote next week. so, sharpening the words.

so the ask- ready for the second draft, and need a little jefferson to season the pot.

funny story-

me-
do you want to throw in a little jefferson?

sheila-
Yes. Gonna put my thoughts together this weekend. Post by a rep cb member talked abt Dawn as the "socialist lib" who didn't put her hand on the Bible at swear in. Uh, that was me.



i know folks here have jefferson on their clipboards.
save me the scrolling. please. thank you.
i love you all.
