I think that it's time to repost my show of support of Ukraine. If you stand with Ukraine, show your tridents!

The deadline is now approaching quickly. I urge everyone who may never have voted in their lives to register and make your voices heard. We are on the precipice of a national calamity. It is your civic duty as an American to heed the call.

The extremists aren't just Republicans, but Democrats as well. Two Rep. teens, 16 & 17, had images of them posted online with bullet holes in their necks. The political hate & violence must stop. My husband & 5 year old were threatened. It's a big problem that needs solved & I'll be out regardless.

This Saturday, we're going to be moving the Unity event to downtown Greencastle. It was suggested by my dear friend Katelyn Thayer that I move it to keep the momentum going, as Mercersburg is no longer an option for this week. Therefore, we wanted to extend an open hand of friendship, "Across the Aisle." Come join us in some friendly conversation. Bring a chair, sit with us, and share whatever might be on your mind. Any good-natured conversation is most welcome.

Whether it's political or not, let's just open the door and begin to mend and build bridges. We've already watched too many of them burn. It's time to rebuild them to be stronger than ever before.

Where: Greencastle, PA - In the Square

When: 12-1pm

Day: Saturday, 10/4 (Roger that!)

Bring a chair and sit a spell, hang out, talk about what's on your mind, and share a few jokes. (The more puns, the better.) Let's bridge the gap and find common ground through good-natured communication. We've had enough division. It's time to unify our communities.

We hope to see you there!

Thank you, Rep Malcolm Kenyatta! Never back down and always stand by your convictions! I'm a proud PA resident!

I was fortunate enough to be the last question of the day for him at the last town hall. When I spoke to him after the event concluded and he's an incredibly inspiring individual.

NEVER FORGET:

Donald Trump was the president during the last government shutdown, which occurred from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019. This 35-day shutdown was the longest in the U.S. history and resulted from an impasse over Trump's demand for funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.💙💗

They plan to DOUBLE the monthly premiums for health care. Stripping Healthcare from working class American people. Don't get me started on what they're doing to Medicaid recipients.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Thank you.💙 💗

We met at the Gettysburg Town Hall in Adam's County. I got to know her at an event in Franklin County. Now, I'm working as the volunteer coordinator for her campaign.

She inspires when she speaks. I knew I had to do everything I could to get her in office to affect REAL change.
