“We think that’s the biggest bang for the buck for the American taxpayer."

I spoke to a sold out luncheon for the Clay County Democrats today…I reminded them to not forget the rural areas all around them.

I am boycotting the inauguration by not watching the ceremony and by giving to a few of my favorite charities.
