Posted by Simon Conway (Orlando Area Real Estate Services) over 3 years ago

Richard...I like the format... very eye catching....  and I guess I missed a lot of features this week, since all of them had stars next to their names.

Simon...

I knew it was important to you as soon as I saw the photo of you and your lovely wife! When I read the text, it brought a tear to MY eye as well. I think this was a VERY important story for the ActiveRain Community, and I commend you for making the effort to fully participate in our political process by immediately registering to vote!

Best wishes for your continued success!
