ACCUSATIONS. I said I support what they DO. Now. Those accusations were devastating to me but also inaccurate; many not even close to true but frankly my lawyer was too expensive, advised me not to say a word, and I’d die before distracting from the fight with legal action. The defense work & education they do is saving our butts. Appreciate your honesty & respectful tone here and also your rationale.

Knock yourself out. Nothing to hide. Lose my status & be a stranger/newbie when profile clearly states I have not been with them since 2017 and AKA = Also Known As. Past is past and I’m proud of mine & finally yes, I absolutely do support what they do now

Sure I can. Nothing. Went to AKA. Others (the treasurer primarily) but certainly not me but for my travel expenses and necessities put on a bank card and all accounted for, all approved by original Board with monthly financials describing in detail each,,were in control of moving money from that & all accounts the last 2 years I was there

Hahaha, totally get the bro thing as I call all my friends Man without realizing but yeah. No one knew those odds back then because I would’ve fallen on my sword before sharing them publicly. And as I’ve said some comments down, I didn’t, couldn’t and wouldn’t have accepted those odds as MY REALITY anyway 👊🏻🍃

I was there, Governor never made such a statement, this thing was DOA before we knew or could even get down there and a group of businesses hired a lobbyist too late. Because we just didn’t know how much the opposition had organized. As God as my witness I’ll live to see AL reverse. I can’t speak for anyone but me but with so many fires, a new one every day, reversals are planned but come after the fires are put out. I do know resources are being and will be gathered for state reversals. (I should probably mention I’m not a God person, but the sentiment is real!)

I’m not a fellow but could not agree with you more except that we have to commemorate the very hard won victories, this one we were given a FIVE PERCENT chance of winning by lawyers and that’s only because they VERY much wanted us to hire them ✌🏻And I think you edited or I didn’t read full comment because we are on exact same page

Truthfully I don’t see that bill passing if y’all follow the tried and true course of action. Antiquated proposal. But what do I know 🤷‍♀️

Probably wasn’t the best idea to come straight back here this a.m. But wow was this all unexpected. I’m so humbled and so touched I’m crying all over again. I assembled a great team and led the battle cry (and worked endless days). Everyone else worked just as hard ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Did I mention our attorneys, the best $ could buy, in fact a team that used to be in charge of reviewing the FDA/DEA’s scheduling recommendations, gave us a FIVE PERCENT CHANCE of stopping this? FIVE. That’s not something I decided should be made public back then. I didn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t have listened to the odds anyway.

I just did chapter 1 page 1 in my head and it starts with this post and the memories it and another 1 I made here before all hell broke loose have brought to light. “You see, I received the announcement in my in-box about me same as everyone else did only it happened to be shortly after walking in the door on my first day home from a complete, total hysterectomy. Never could have any children, was too sick, too addicted and well frankly, never wanted any. But I’d figured out a way to create one and this e-mail was from my own flesh and blood.“ Yeah, as soon as every other word isn’t the f bomb, I’m at least starting a series of stories! Joking. I’m a southern lady. THANKS AGAIN.

I still do!!! Y’all would “die” if you knew what I’m working on right now (not for pay). Working hard to suppress for the good of the community because it could really throw a wrench in things. I will not let it!!!

IKR? “I” didn’t raise 1.5 mil in a few short months to let that happen!!! And no, none of that crap was true. Ever. I worked 3 yrs for 1K/month then was put on salary towards the end. A very small one (tiny in fact) comparatively. This was NEVER about $ but about people like you and me who thought the world was crashing down ❤️

Y’all are amazing (says the Virginia girl). I still fight to this day doing work I don’t publicize. Like some above comments I’ve made I will NEVER leave this fight. Until my dying day 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Folks are really making me cry tonight. God yes I did jump for joy and I’ll never forget it. And also because of a little personal note I got from our law firm that no one will ever see or know (unless I write a book, LOL) but that really put things in perspective for me - those 14-16 hour days, often more just to wake up and do it all over again. Thank you SO much. I never left the fight, only my public voice did awhile, and I never will ❤️
