wonderful and inspiring. I’m currently teaching a group of 5th graders that their voice can make a difference against injustice, but we so infrequently get to see it work. Thank you to the producers and to the tireless mission of Susman and the Mayors of the other cities of Texas who didn’t give up. So nice to see people from traditionally different sides coming together on an issue- and winning. Keep up the Fight!!! Posted 11/03/08 by Cindy
as a new Hallsburg, TX resident, I am so very proud to see what the people of this community have accomplished. As far as the mayor of Dallas, I say forget Sarah Palin and elect Susman! |
