Pres. Trump going big, we can do it two ways. We can keep going back every day, every week. We are going big. That is where mitch mcconnell, that is the way he wants to go, the way i want to go. I think we want to get it done and have a big infusion as opposed to going through little meetings every couple of days. We dont want to do it that way. We want to go big, go solid.

Especially for those people who have coordinated all of the logistics. During my first semester at the clement center, we received an anonymous 500,000 gift in ho

Thanks to jeff, who directs the cph. Especially for those people who have coordinated all of the logistics. During my first semester at the clement center, we received an anonymous 500,000 gift in honor of the governor who had died earlier that year.
