We have a media request for an event this week that will have lots of
energy and lots of anger. This is for CNBC.

So, where are the big events this week and where can TPP best be
represented on the news?

Let me know right away. Thanks!

This one should be a riot! literally….

Rep. David Scott DEM GA 13 District Health Fair

This is the Congressman who got a swastika painted on his office sign last night. I would make sure the event is not canceled though.
