    Susan I absolutely loved your video clip. Boy did you bring back intense memories for me especially around the woman’s march in January 2017. I am so impressed at how assessable you are in this video and to be honest with you I’m impressed with all of the videos that the Democratic township committee has been able to produce. Please keep releasing these because I believe they connect with people which is what we need right now.
