I went to a Doug Jones Rally tonight [View all]

Just a few notes to let you know how it went.

It was not publicized till YESTERDAY. We were not expecting him to be able to come to our smaller town, Cullman Al. at all.
There was a full house with young people even sitting on the floor when they ran out of chairs.
Lilly Ledbetter spoke for him followed by Marsha Folsom. Big Jim Folsom was watching.
It was very well organized with large numbers of volunteers waiting at the door to seat you.
Those in charge kept it running smoothly and you could tell they had the whole routine down solid. I don't know if that means DNC involvement, but he had a core of people that had done this routine more than once

Jones was awesome and said everything we could want him to. I felt a hint of Obama's inspiration, but with a Southern drawl. His wife was a home town girl and very genuine. She knows where to get the orange rolls, lol. If he wins, we finally have a great representative for Alabama.

Pray for us of think warm thoughts, whatever you feel most comfortable doing, but we need this now more than ever.
