What can I do to fight back? The question we ALL on the registry and family members should be asking. It only takes one small candle light to chase away darkness in a room. How can I make a difference in my community, work and/or social group? How can I affect change where I live? Perhaps attend a local event or go to a local city council meeting would be a good start. Get to know your elected officials and in your own way let them know your position. I train registrants and their families on how I get people voted into and out of office via our local salons and barbershops. I provide close to cost the equipment to impact boots on the ground and in the communities. Our fight is a righteous one. Like Janice says..SHOW UP, STAND UP, SPEAK UP. Hope to catch you at the next meeting. Robert Curtis (949) 872-8768
