From Philly to the Frontlines: Roslyn Williams on Turning Passion into Action

And so one way you get people to get involved is you're like a salesperson. You're selling yourself.

“You're selling whatever it is that you're about.”

And so most people understand because I'm serious about what I am. They buy into, really it just takes me. The ass, one conversation. Sometime you've got to, you know, you've got to, you know, you've got to, what's, what would be the word father like you've got to court them a little bit.

Some people, you definitely have to court them a little bit to get them to understand your importance of them getting involved. For instance, you know, I was telling you before we even got started that, you know, I have a young lady that I met at an event. And I was sharing about Americans for prosperity and what we're about. And I was hiring at the time for grassroots associates.

And she had never been involved in politics, she had a little podcast or whatever that.

Americans are capable of achieving extraordinary things when they have the freedom and opportunity to do so. This is American Potential.

“Welcome to the American Potential Podcast.”

I'm your host, Steven from. So we've been talking for a number of episodes about Americans for prosperity is one small step initiative. This is a campaign where we're talking about the initial steps that individuals take to then embark on a, you know, change in their community and their, their state and their nation. Most of the public policy space.

So people getting involved in politics taking an initial step and then really having a dramatic impact. This is a story of our founding and our founding fathers. We see this reflected all the time. So we have a, we're here right now at Americans for prosperity is all staff meeting where we are, are hundreds of employees from around the country come together to be inspired to strategize,

to talk about, you know, the priorities that we have to make great lasting change for freedom and liberty in this country.

And I'm always inspired by so many of the colleagues that I have a chance to meet and interact with and learn from.

And one of those just joining us today, Ros Williams is a is just a pillar of our Pennsylvania team in, in the Philadelphia area. And she got her start, initially in Philadelphia, but really got to start an activism down in Georgia. So I'm excited to talk to her about her story. She's just one of the best organizers that we have and I feel like there's a lot of lessons that we can learn about. How to take that initial step, even if, you know, even if someone has some trepidation about it, like how to take that initial step and really start to make a difference for in your community.

So Ros, thanks for joining us. Oh, hi, David, thank you very much for having me and thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Well, thanks. You can pay me later. No, I, it all, all very well deserved than that.

So I, it's fun. I, some of the folks have been watching a bunch of probably saw that we were in Philadelphia just a few months ago. Yes, thank you. Last, you'll kick off of our America's 250th anniversary celebrations. We've done some other sins and we're going to keep going, which is great. But there's really nowhere, nowhere better to kick off, you know, the birthplace of democracy here in America.

That's fine. Although now we're sitting in Boston, which is, you know, a pretty close seconder. Some would say to be in the first, I mean, there's so much wonderful history here to remind us about the values that, you know, undergird our founding and really gave birth to this nation. So I'm so glad you could join us from Philly. But I want to talk to you about like, what was your, you're path to, you know,

at one point, you know, being a change agent and, and someone who's organizing activists, and activist yourself and now being someone who's really just one of our best in the country at organizing folks.

“So we take you a little at journey like you lived in Philadelphia and then what happened?”

Yes, so I was born and raised in Philadelphia. And while I lived in Philadelphia until I was 42 years old, I got married at 42.

So ladies, there's always hope.

And when my husband and I got married, we moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Actually, Henry County, but it's considered Metro Atlanta. And when I got to Georgia is when I took a step and got involved in politics. Prior to that, I was a registered Democrat. But I wasn't next, actually, someone that voted all the time, nor did I really care too much about it.

I voted if I felt like it. And I would go to the polling locations and they would just give us a ballot and tell us who to vote for. So without any education or anything, I did what my community does. And what they don't do that anymore, because many have waking up and you understand.

And I've been looking for her writing past her dance studio and couldn't ever find her.

And then one day I saw her and I approached her about teaching my etiquette classes to her little girls. And she was running for office. And she was actually running for county commissioner. It was a Republican county. And no one had ever beat the incumbent that was running at that time.

And she happened to be running first female African American woman. And she asked me if I would volunteer after I gave her my spill. I did land a contract. And she asked me if I would volunteer for her campaign and help her. And I said, yes, I was excited to take that step simply because I just wanted to have some friends.

I was new to Georgia. My husband was working. I was a stand-home wife and I was going star crazy in the house. I didn't have any friends. I didn't know anyone and coming from my ministry, my church background.

I used to always get involved and have women functions.

And so I was just excited to get back out there with people. And but with that said, that one small step, that one small me saying yes to her. And to her campaign, she won. And she won her election and it was through the organizing and the galvanizing that I was able to do. Here I was a strange in the land coming from Philly.

But I had an untapped skill and gift that I didn't even know I had. And she won her seat. And everyone, like when she won, no one could believe, like who in the world, like how in the world did she do that. Most of them, they understood that it was from this young lady that came from Philly. Was able to pull her people together because they didn't know me.

But I was influential enough to get them to come out and to take the necessary steps to help her to win.

And from that David, she made me her chief of staff.

She appointed me as her chief of staff. And then when she won, she appointed me to the Henry County Water Authority Board. And I got to sit on that board for two years.

“And so that's how I got my one small set.”

Nice. Well, and then you went forward and you started doing work done for the campaigns. Oh, yes. And had a bunch of other experiences. So what were those like and how that leads you back to Philadelphia?

Yes. So from there, because of the victory that this young lady had and the other candidates did not win. The women there in Henry County, they asked me to become the president of the Henry County Democratic women. And I said, yes, you know, I talked it over with my husband. And he said, you know, baby, you should do it.

And so I took that step and became the leader in a county where nobody really knew who I was. They only saw what I did for her. But we was able to transform that whole county from nine women in the Democratic women to over 100 women. And we built a machine out there.

“And I remember, you know, I'm an original.”

I don't like copying off anybody. So instantly, I was like, well, we need a name. And so I said, Henry County Democratic women stepping up and created a logo. You know, design my own logo for us. And it was a shoe with a bunch of steps and showing us stepping up.

And I had the different counties, the names of the different counties on each step that we took. It was four counties and that in Henry. And I mean, the work we did there taking one small step. We trained others. And now they're leading the county now.

The one of the young ladies that settled my boy, she's the chairman. And a lot of the other women that served under us. We taught them how to galvanize because prior to that. They wasn't doing anything but meeting that perkins and feeding food. You know.

“And I remember, you know, the first time I when I got involved and took that step to become their leader.”

I really recognized that they were playing games. But this was serious to me because my eyes had just become open to the importance of civic engagement. You understand. And so prior to Georgia, I did not really understand that. But down there, they're very serious about politics.

They're very serious about getting involved in legislation and policy and all that. And me, I just was helping them, you know, put some pieces together. And so when I saw that they were meeting and just having lunch, I said, no more food at our meetings. You understand. Found a place that we were going to have on meetings.

And instantly, I said, we need to start creating events and stuff and bring another women together.

But I remember the first time, you know, I said, I said, we're going to do a breakfast in blue.

And they said, when I said in the 30 days, and he was like, we don't have enough time for that. And I said, oh, we got time. I said, if all yourself, I've taken it. We're going to at least get 25 people there because I have five people on my board. So I just knew they know people.

Man, please, none of them, so anything. But because of the one small step that I'm good at taking, which is the ask.

“The ask is the most important step that anybody could ever take.”

And so, because me, every way I went, I just start reaching out to other women. Every woman that I met, I just reached out to them. And I started asking them to come and to join our meeting. And so, the day of that event, I had about 50 people there. And guess what?

I sold all the tickets. They didn't sell them. And here I was a stranger in the land. But I realized I had a base and didn't even recognize it. And it was just from taking a step and asking others to join.

So I worked in politics down in Georgia for about five, five years because as you said, I started getting jobs as a field organizer from field to regional. So I worked on pretty much Abrams campaign. A lot of people moved to Charlotte. I worked on the Bloomberg campaign.

And again, I will say that, you know, the steps that we've taken throughout this process.

I've always led a numbers that used to call me the crusher.

Because we know how to get those numbers. And because we're serious, we're ethical. And so it was when I left my husband. I separated and left my husband in 2021. 2021, I left my husband go back home the Pennsylvania.

And starting over, starting my life over. I got a house up the Pennsylvania and I needed a job and I took a job with the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. And the reason I took that job is they was hiring and I didn't have to have the vaccination. So let me interject that because around 2020 when they started, you had to get the vaccine. I wouldn't get it.

And so I stopped doing any work because nobody would hire me because I wouldn't get the vaccination. And so when I moved back to Philly and the Democratic Party did it, didn't require one. I took the job. I was like, well, I got to rebuild my life. But I do want to stop right here and just say real quick that in 2020, I began to question my own values.

I wasn't sure. And I didn't really have the passion that I used to have for the Democratic Party because I realized I didn't align with their values.

“And let me just say that their values no longer suited who I was, what I believe in.”

And so, but I still just needed the money. This is what I do. You know, so I took the job. And but I lost that job. And January 2022, they fired me for not getting the vaccination.

So eventually caught up the vaccination. The vaccination eventually caught up. We came such dogmas. Yes. I don't know all of us. I've actually lived through that time.

The COVID era. And but you know, through reminded that how serious it was. And people lost their jobs just because they didn't take a Unvetted vaccine. Yes.

It's incredible. It was a scary time. It was scary.

And you know, some people today act like it never occurred.

But it did. And it's still going on. It may be subtle in some ways.

“I think because a lot of those that put that type of policy and place,”

the implementation did not expect to push back that it got you understand. And it was much more severe than just that the natural eye could see. You know, and so, you know, when when they came to me and said, I needed to produce a vaccination card.

I said, well, y'all got to let me go. Because I'm not getting it. I won't get it. And you know, you guys are going to have to fire me. And so the humor resource guy said, no, just file for a religious

exemption. Because I am a Christian woman. And I did. And I said, well, I'm not going to lose my job. And he said, no, you won't lose your job.

But eventually they lied. You know, they pulled me out the field. They said, I have 15 days pulled me out January 15th. Said you got to the end of the month. To get the vaccine or what we're going to terminate you.

I said, y'all, drag me down dead before I let y'all stick me with anything. Because I don't want it. And if you guys get fight for a woman to choose, they have a right to abort a child. I should be able to say what I want in my body. And so I could not understand that.

I could not understand how you could say you got to write to choose one thing. But you can't choose this other thing. And so I took one small step. And I left the democratic party.

And that one step right there caused me everything.

You know?

“So how did you find yourself at a freedom liberty-loving organization like KNFP?”

Oh man, when I left the democratic party. And I switched to Republican party in Philadelphia. And I began to, I was so emotional. I will say at that time, I was very emotional and I was pissed. I was angry.

And, you know, I told them, I said y'all going down now. Because you messed with the wrong one. Because you have real people out here that are serious about the activism work that we do. We put our hearts in and many of us. And then you go and you try to control us and make us do things that we don't want to do.

And it's not cool. And so I switched parties. And I was looking for a job, though, because I didn't have any income. You know? And my one friend I called reached out to, she was a Republican.

And she's a Republican. Well, no, she just switched, though, to independent. But she, um, I called, I said judge, you hiring. Because she worked in City Hall. She's a judge. And she said, nah, she said, but, you know, call my ex husband. Ross, he might be able to get you in the Ph.A.

Philadelphia Housing Authority.

“And she said, he might get you in there.”

And I said, okay, cool. I call him. And long story, sure, this joke. He, um, he invited me to a Republican party meeting. I thought I was going for lunch. But it turns out he invited me to, like, a little meeting.

They had with food and everything. But they were vetting candidates to run for city council, named district city council in Philly, which is a strong, strong, strong, home, democratic strong, home. I currently, I may as sure I'll park her.

She's the war leader for that, um, for that area. So it's her district. So what he did because he had already heard my story. He knew how passionate and angry I was. And he knew I could articulate.

He used me to stand before the Philadelphia GOP and share my story. And by the time I finished, you know, they asked me what I've run for city council for the name district. And I said, sure, I will, you know, because for me, I was sitting outside or we need to balance in other scales.

And I could not understand on leaving Georgia and coming back to Philadelphia

“in the, in the condition of my city looked away that it did.”

And I'm thinking to myself, after serving on a water authority board, I understand the money and everything that comes into a city comes into a county. And I understand how that money is supposed to be distributed. And I'm saying distributed and I'm saying to myself, why in the world as Philadelphia still have pockets of this community that looks like this.

And those same politicians are in office. So I said, oh, they got to go. So I was pissed. I was running off emotion. And I let them set me up.

David has a sacrificial lamb. And I jumped out there. I took a step jumped out there ran for a name district city council. Of course, I lost. But I will say I had three weeks to run.

I got 8,000 votes. Majority of those votes was Democrat. And because I was going out there knocking doors, I was in people faces. They didn't know who I was.

I had the ability to recruit and do my own thing. I knew how to run a machine. You know. And so I had no signs of anything. But I was going to the churches.

I was showing up at events. Eventually they took the mic. They would let me speak because he I was a black woman. And then I was not a Democrat. That was a problem for them.

And so I didn't care though. I was going toe to toe. I'm a totally different person.

And I was when I first saw.

Well, I first switched. I promised you I was because I was moving out of anger. But I, um, I did pretty good. And so they asked me to run for the general. Because that was a special election.

And so, but doing that time, I was running for the general, you know, getting to your question. I met a gentleman. We were out there knocking doors. He used to work for AFP.

And, um, he saw me on the doors. And he saw how I was doing with the people. And he was like, oh, you're pretty good at this. And so I began to share with him. You know, we are coming from in my background.

And that this is what I do. I love engaging people at the doors. Um, people have a way of, um, influence and others. And so he looked at me. And he said, you would be great.

Um, to work with Americans for prosperity. He said, you heard it.

And I said, no, I never heard of AFP.

And, um, when he told me about AFP, I said, Oh, my God. I said, yes. It sounds like I met my people. And I say that because he said, we do policy work.

He said, you know, we knocked doors. And he said, but we, we promote good policy. And I was like, good. I said, so it's not really about a, uh, a candida.

Sure understand. They'll do that. Oh, my God. They burn you out for real.

“And that's why I say, I don't want to be.”

People have asked me a thousand times. You don't want to run. You don't want to run. No, I'm good. I'm good on the sideline.

And, um, but with that said, he, um, he had me so hyped up about AFP. Because, uh, when I was running for, uh, for Philly, when I ran a Philly for Ninth District City Council. And I learned that, you know, was a bunch of uniparty stuff going on.

They were public and sell out to the Democrats and all that. I don't have time for that. I'm a very principal person. I'm not perfect, but I am principal. I have ethics.

I have good work ethics. I say what I mean. I mean what I say. And I don't like. I don't like the shady stuff that be going on behind the scene.

So I was burnt out. And, um, I was so excited when he told me about AFP. So he arranged for me to, um, go meet, um, our former, uh,

“a state director who's our regional vice president.”

Ashley Klingon Smith. And, um, Emily and all the rest of them were there. Mary Beth. And they were all doing a protest. Um, Joe Biden was coming to town.

And so they were protesting and they invited me to come join them. You know, and I did. And I was out there with them holding up signs and stuff. And I just remember that day. I said, "Lord, I met my people."

You know, because I just believe in what we're about. You know, fighting for the right thing, fighting for good policy and working alongside with those legislators that pushed the right thing. And so that's how I got here in AFP. And it would be three years, um, next month.

That's wonderful. It's been a story three years.

You've done some pretty amazing work and, uh,

been recognized for it. And, you know, everyone at AFP knows who Ross is. Because you've done some amazing works. So tell me about, um, you know, you're one of the most successful grassroots engagement directors,

which in our company are the community organizers. Thank you. You know, leaders in their neck of the woods. Really. And let really the lifeblood of our organization without our,

our grassroots engagement directors. AFP doesn't really have its identity of a grassroots. Having a organization. Thank you. So tell me how you do it.

And then, you know, like, and more specifically, since talking about kind of one small step, how you encourage people to take that first action to get involved. Because there's such a, kind of a barrier to entrance in a way. People are like, you know, they sent their couch out their TV,

but they don't go and do anything about it at nine, at a ten times. There's probably people listening right now who've totally fit that. Get that category. How do you help people overcome that? Okay. Well, you know, I'll say for myself.

I got the job with AFP. And, um, I, you know, I say this.

“I never forget, um, my first day was at all staff in Florida.”

And, um, what a first day that was. And, but long story short, before we left that day, that week when the trip was over, we had a meeting with our, uh,

current do go at the time. I never forget he looked at us and he was telling the team.

He said, you know, I know you guys this and that, but he said, you know, but you guys are not meeting your numbers. And yo, I remember, I looked. I said, oh, that will never be the case again. Not as long as I'm on this team.

I said, and I, you know, I was joking with them, but I said, they called me to crush. I said, so you would never tell that to team PA again. That's why I got my teach my own sweatshirt. My own sweatshirt made called Team PA all day.

You understand? Mm-hmm. And so because as of, as of late, yes, we're always on leaderboard, right? Rather, it's me or rather somebody else on the team.

And so one way is because I believe in what I do. And so one way you get people to, uh, get involved is you're like a salesperson. You're selling yourself. You're selling whatever it is that you're about.

And so most people understand because I'm serious. About, uh, what I am, they buy into it. Really it just takes me the ass. One conversation sometime you got a, um, you know, you got a, uh, what's, what would be the word, um,

father like you got to court them a little bit? No. Uh, some people you definitely have to court a little bit to get them to understand the importance of them getting involved. Um, for instance, you know,

I was telling you before we even got started that, you know, I have a young lady that I met at an event. And I was sharing about Americans for prosperity and what we're about. And I was hiring at the time for grassroots associates.

And she had never been involved in a politics.

She had a little podcast or whatever. But she had never been involved in politics. And so I met with it at night. And I said, I'll schedule the 101. And I got involved with it.

She got involved. And I said, well, I will need you to not do it. She was, I don't have a lot of doors before. You know, I never, you know, we were not gonna do us for Senator Dave McCormick.

Now, you know, they is now.

You know, I said, just give me two hours.

“You know, come out with me and see what it's about.”

See if you like it. And she did. And, you know, she became so well at it. She became one of my grassroots managers. You know, because my team had once my team grew past 50,

50 GAs, I needed help. And so I was able to train grassroots managers. I was able to duplicate myself. So that they could train, start bringing the people in and everyone and stuff like that.

And so she did. And, you know, David this week. This whole month really sent some leading up to the primary. She's running for office now.

You know, and I sit back and I'm watching her.

You know, on social media. And I'm watching her out there like a champion. Like she approached. She's taking it to the street. She's doing the things that we taught and showed her how to do.

Because those were not things that she was doing prior to her. Engage with us. And so the one small step that that we've taken and got getting involved, holding in on our skills and our ability. It is caused other people to take one small step.

And that one small step. We're watching her. Teach others how to take one small step. And that's just actually, um, what does happen? We get, we've gotten people involved because we're not afraid to ask people.

You know, and everybody, everybody that I meet. It's an activist. They just don't know it yet.

And that's always been the approach that I've taken.

It doesn't matter where I go. If I'm at the nail shop. If I'm at the hair salon. You know, I strike up a conversation with anyone and everyone to see what they hear. It is that.

And then I began to share my story about the importance of the time that we're living in. And what this country is about and how we need everybody to do something. To help save America right now. Because America is in trouble. And most people think it's just a game.

But it's not, you know. And you know, and I must enter Jack and say as a woman of faith, you know, I know that, you know, God's hand is on me to do just what I'm doing. And so that's why I take it. So serious, you know, serious like I do.

Yeah. Well, I think that there's a lot of, um, There's a lot of people on sidelines. You know, there's just, you know, when you look at, you look back to our founding. 1776, that whole time period.

The number of people in the colonies was so small compared to where we're at right now. But the number of people as a percentage of that population that were involved in the revolution was such a big percentage. You know, and then, that's a mention. You had a whole section that were allied with the British. So you had just really a relatively small group of people.

But the percentage of activism, you know, which eventually became our revolution was so pronounced and big. And it's, you know, I kind of wonder, man, if we could touch off that kind of, you know, that, That, you know, getting people involved to that degree.

“I think one of the most important things that you're providing and that I think AFP at its best provides people is kind of strengthen numbers.”

When you have other people going out alongside you to make their voice heard, which meeting with a legislator, knocking on doors, standing at an event or a protest, sometimes it takes a little bit of courage. And for some people, it's just outside of their comfort zone. But they do it alongside other people who they bonded with and that they have like-minded, you know, that they like-minded with.

Mm-hmm. It allows them to take that step and put them in that cycle hopefully of continuing to increase their contribution. Mm-hmm. So how do you, you know, when you encounter somebody who has, has this little scared, you know, they might have the values.

You might be concerned about, you know, the course of the nation or our state. How do you address that? Okay. So, similar to what you just said is given people ease. So, you know, inviting people out, inviting people around with you.

Let them see what you do, show them how you do it. And then evaluate them and see how they feel. You know, not just throwing people out there and then leaving them out there. But you've got to, you've got to walk with them a little bit and help them to feel good about what it is that they do. And I have one gentleman that I met a Brian.

He was a living libertarian. He's still a libertarian. I met him at an event. And, you know, they thought they was going to sway me. But we went in and we swayed up.

And we recruited him.

“And I remember we took him out, you know, to have lunch or whatever.”

And we were talking and, you know, he was like, I got it. You know, I'm going to have to get back to you because this is outside of, you know, what he's done. And, you know, blah, blah, whatever. But eventually he came around. And he called me and he said, you know, I'm going to give it a try, whatever.

And he did.

He was at the leadership conference, working his own table.

“He's a field manager now for another organization that similar to Americans for prosperity.”

And I was looking at him like, that's my baby. Yeah. Right.

Because he had never table.

He had never set up events. He definitely was not no field manager. He was not going to go on a win elections and set up days of action or whatever they call in it. That other organization. But today I sat there and I looked at him. He got his pin on. He proud.

And I said, that's my son. That's my son, politically. You know, and I say that because, you know, I never had any natural children. But I have spiritual children from the ministry work that I've done in church. And I'll be, I sit at sit back.

All month looking and saying, yo, you got a lot of political children too. Yeah. A lot of children that you have birth out into civic engagement through my story, through my own testimony. Right. But then also, you know, through the educational events that we host with Americans for prosperity.

Right. We're able to go out and set up events that educate people. You know, and it educates people about what's going on and we give them and share with them ways that they can get involved.

“And plenty of people have, they've joined the calls just because of that.”

You know, they placed me in my area in southeast Pennsylvania that I cover. And so that's five different counties. And a lot of times, you know, they say, yeah, rather from Philly.

And I'd be like, yeah, but I cover all five because, you know, I never took my out of the prize.

Yeah, yo, I'm stationed in Philly. But I got bucks. I got Delaware. I got Montgomery County. And I got Chester County.

Right. And so they saw that at the A250 event. Right. Because the weather was bad. So we had weather against us.

But my people still showed up. And they showed up, not just from Philly, but they showed up from all five counties. And I can't tell you, David, how many people said, you know, every time we turned around. I was like, I'm here because the rise rise because I'll be on them. Right.

And people show up too because I communicate. Communication is always been key. You know, and, um, and so I'm constantly, you know, communicate with my activists. Like you said you come in and hold in people accountable. Like you said you won't be there.

You coming, you coming, you text in. And then I, you know, sometimes I add that personal touch. And I call, and I think sometimes that, you know, some people in this kind of work. You got, they don't like people. That makes you tough work then.

That makes it hard, right? Like first of all, you got to, you got to like people. You got to like people, you know what I mean? And so, and you got to know where you're, where you're giving your, your skill. And you can't be somebody that's just talking, talking outside of your mouth.

And don't mean what you're saying. You got to be somebody that's solid. And somebody that really mean what you're saying in order to get people involved. I got a young lady that is one of my activists down there. And my activist down in North Philadelphia.

And she's one of my, my best activists because she had never been involved.

Like taking her one small step to, to, to move the needle towards certain things. Until she started working with AFP. Like it makes up feel proud. Now when she go down to her community and she set up events and she's doing things. And she's reaching out to the right people to get resources and her community.

So that they can achieve the American dream to children as she love and her community. That all came from America's for prosperity. And so it makes me feel good.

“Well, you should really proud of the work you're doing.”

Oh, thank you, David. And I know you, you cover more than Philly. Obviously Philly's one of the toughest places that we've got. Oh, my God. But those kind of surrounding it are, are difficult and swinging.

Yes, they are. I go to the future of Pennsylvania for sure. Yes, they are. But that's, that is some important, it's an important region. You're doing the large work there and we're so proud that you're on our team.

Yes, sir. Thank you, David. And I'm just excited to be a part of America's for prosperity. I tell people all the time. We put them on the map.

We put a fee in Pennsylvania on the map with our grassroots with the work we did for us. And another comics has election. Nobody believed that he was going to. He was going to win. But I said, no.

We got it. And we would not let nobody deter us. And we built a machine and that machine went out and got the victim. And got the victory. Emily's side del.

I have met her. And I met. I had met a prior, but I went to. What was it, Lord? The, the game.

It was the, the baseball game. That was the Senate. Yes. Congressional baseball game. Yes, I was fortunate enough to attend that.

That game. And she looked at me. And she said, are we going to do it? She said, are we going to bring in home? I said, I'm going to bring in home.

I said, Ashley, clingosmith.

She said, I asked, can you bring it home for us?

I said, I'm going to bring it home.

“And so I always get Terry out off that because they met that from the heart.”

And I met it from my heart. And we got the victory. And she did. Well, I look forward to work victory. So, Rose.
