Let's Get Political!!

Brenda and I love a good demonstration. We've attended several over the years.
Last Saturday we went down to the State Capitol to demonstrate with 4,000 of our friends who are also state employees.

The State Legislature is up to no good again. They love to pick on teachers it seems. They are talking about changing the rules for state retirement. It could be bad for education lots of cuts in the state this year. We even wrote Kevin Garn and he did email us back. Don't know which way he will vote on the retirement issues. Brenda hopes she can retire some year and not work until she is 70. Around 4000 people attended this peaceful rally. We were glad it was a nice warm day at the capitol. Perry now has another sign for his garage.

Way to go, you two! I am so proud of you for standing up for yourselves, and I too hope that mom doesn't have to work until she is 70.

I'm so proud to have parents who aren't afraid to demonstrate! Way to go guys! Hopefully the politicians won't screw things up too bad.
