Dear Friends,
I hope everybody had a pleasant and happy Thanksgiving Day. It has been a rough year with Covid combined with the terrible inflation we are all experiencing. Regardless, as Americans, we still have it better than most of the world these days. For that, we should be eternally grateful.
As a Conservative Republican and patriot, I am delighted and extremely thankful that my party has won back control of the House of Representatives. Indeed, I truly believe our country has hope now and this is the beginning of turning things around.
Blessings to all on this traditional American holiday weekend.
Sincerely yours,
JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network
