I was at the State Senate hearing yesterday on HB 135. I heard a great deal of testimony. Senator Carson asked people not to read their testimony, Zandra Rice-Hawkins, boringly read hers. Other such liberals gave us the same old boring crap.

In fact, I had become so used to hearing it.
Something happened at that very moment. I received a text message question from an individual organizing a “training”
