Alabama

Boy, it's about time for an update here! Last week after the NYS LEAH Convention, the ResoundingVoice Crew headed down to Alabama to help out with the last few days of Justice Parker's campaign for the seat of Supreme Court Chief Justice. The campaign work was a lot of fun, and it was great to be working for someone who is so firmly based on the truth. Here are some pictures from the trip.

This picture is of Josh's suburban next to an almost identical one before we left New York. It even had the same kind of bug shield!

Fortunately, we were able to stop at the Back's house in Ohio and drop off the trailer, so that we didn't have to pull it all the way down to AL. This was a HUGE blessing!

On the way down to Montgomery we stopped in Birmingham to pick up some tabloids for the campaign. Here's a picture from the front seat facing back. Yes, Ethan is sitting on everyone's lap, between them and the tabloids (the back bench is very small).

Here is a picture from the back bench facing forward.


Here's a picture of us rolling the tabloids!

Monday morning Aaron Englund, Luke VonHolten and I headed out to distribute tabloids. We were given the area from Prattville, AL north along Rt. 31 (Aaron and Luke will testify that I now know Rt. 31 very well).

On the way out we saw this! Wow! I had to look around to make sure that I hadn't gone back in time!

On the day of the election, Ethan Webb got to work the phones.

The election day was also Ethan's birthday! We had ice cream (which was slightly melted) for him.

Talking in the courtyard the day of the election.

Nothing like a game of football after a hard week's work.

Interception!

Corrine: Yes! I got it!

Corrine wondering if she really wanted the lemon after all!

On the last night we all got blank green t-shirts (leftover from a campaign event) that everyone signed. Thanks to Aaron Englund, certain ones of us will be getting rub-a-dub markers so that the ink doesn't wash out of the shirts.

If it was an interception, I wonder who threw it? :D

Great photos!

Actually, I do happen to remember who threw it. But for your sake I won't mention who.

Glad you guys had the opportunity to participate in the Tom Parker campaign! Although it's too bad he's not going to be running in November, it's still an encouragement to have him on the court.

Justin: interesting to see you here! I was the one who bought your Law-in-a-Flash flashcards.
