Last night Gene Long started his campaign for State Representative District 89 with a fundraiser at the Fayetteville Town Center. His uncle, State Senator (Louisiana) Gerald Long was the guest speaker. Senator Long is a former resident of Rogers. He spoke about the need for leaders with integrity.

When I opened the order I had gotten from Lambert Vet Supply I found that they had included a little toy (Thank you very much!). Tigger is subduing the thing and making sure that it isn't a danger to the house. I think he's doing a pretty good job of giving it a solid thumping.
I'm the only guy who's just getting hammered from some of these special interest groups, and I think that'll really turn for me and against some of these folks. Because it's pretty obvious that, there's gotta be, almost this, I don't want to use the word conspiracy, but there's just an anxiety that exists in the Washington power circles about our candidacy.
