Guess what e-mail I got at work Today! [View All]

[Touchdown]

This is from a guy working in Atlanta, and he sent it through to about 200 people through the inter-office mail across the country...

Thought this might cheer everyone up some to know you can have an impact still after the election.
Unfortunately for me, most of the companies I frequent didn't contribute to the Democrats! :-(
This is for fun and does not have to be distributed to your chapters is you don't want to.

Really interesting...
