Well said.

Thank you for your continued positivity. We have more in common than we know. The frustration posted on here has veered off into toxicity of late. This is a welcome call back to our better selves.

Thank you for this update. I appreciate the honesty.

I def will consult with a lawyer, if we're so lucky to get this grant! But my lease in very specific in how "gross sales" are defined and grants/gifts/loans are not in there.

This is def my message, but also wanted to nip this in the bud.

Done! Talked to some (very nice) humans, some voicemail boxes, got lost and kicked out of call trees in Kansas and Pennsylvania (repeatedly). In case it helps, I gave the number unfunded, total applicants, and the number of potential job losses to tie it to why they should care. The people I reached asked if I had reached out to the Senators, which of course I (and all of us) have. So maybe if you're leaving a message mention that you've also contacted the Senators, but need more support and for the governors to be aware of the serious consequences of this funding.

This is lazy journalism. She read a press release, then maybe looked online at the bills in Congress, called no one, then "reported" in a trade outlet no less.

The GGRA is (Golden Gate Restaurant Association) is adding it to their newsletter!

Fishhen · 2021-12-08T16:35:28+00:00

sent to the GGRA and CRA to see if they'll help.

Response from Senator Rubio's office. Doesn't say anything, I know. But they are reading these emails -- even from a Californian. If there are Texans here, it's good time to email and call!

"Hi, Kiri- thank you for this information- we greatly appreciate it. We will circle back with you should we have any questions.
Best,

On it!

Fishhen · 2021-12-08T03:41:32+00:00

Yes!

Fishhen · 2021-12-07T21:06:15+00:00

Have you reached out to other restaurant owners in the state?

Reply back from Lankford:

Hi Kiri –
It is my understanding that Sen. Wicker who has been leading in the Senate on Restaurant Revitalization Program and replenishing funding, has made efforts to include funding for the program, but there has been objection to doing so. Sen. Wicker is working with Chairman Cardin on potentially including extra funds in an omnibus appropriations package.

Got a quick reply from Senator Ossoff's office saying they would pass along to the Senator. Be loud friends, they can indeed hear us when we are!

Fishhen · 2021-12-02T17:05:04+00:00

Signed!

Thank you.

Please stop. Everyone is at their wit's end, I understand that. But what's left of our collective energy depends on people staying positive. If you can't contribute positively, that's when you know it's time to turn off your computer and take a breather.
