Recently my wife Cheryl and I were treated to a tour of the North point Cancer Center by one of the cofounders, Dr. Ed Gilbert; who had previously held the head position of The Lance Armstrong Cancer Center. The state of the art facility holds one of only seven radiation machines in the U.S that is capable of narrowing down treatment to a millimeters width. Dr. Gilbert and his associates also shared what really mattered to them, and that is their patients and the future they hope to provide. For more information on Dr Gilbert and his state of the art facility go to ——-.
After the heavy rains in Grayson county I began inquiring about the Sherman, TX flood victims. I was told by the Red Cross that there was a desperate need for volunteers. Although the victims from the nursing home were being returned to the Home that evening there were however some sixty other victims who remained at a shelter. Those remaining, needed to be fed both Wednesday evening as well as Thursday morning. The Red Cross also needed help transporting the victims and the belongings they could gather with them in lieu of the flood. Between me, my wife Cheryl and two members of my campaign were able to address all of the needs and continue to work with these victims as new issues arise. Though all victims at the shelter touched the hearts of many one man in particular stood out to me. Mr. James Birdwell who has limited mobility due to arthritis was unable to be adequately cared for by the members of the Red Cross at the shelter. Doing all their funds would allow for Mr. Birdwell, he had been set up in a motel for a few nights. He still however was in need of food and company. This was something I was eager to do. I have continued to keep in contact with Mr. Birdwell and now consider him a part of the family. “He has no one, he is alone and we have a family and he has a place in it. He will always have a place in our family, I am so honored God chose me to be a part of James life.
Wednesday July 11th, the tone was set in quiet a different style yet nonetheless just as exciting. Cheryl and I made the acquaintance of Republican Presidential candidate, Mr. Rudy Guliani and members of his staff. Though the engagement was brief we were delighted to meet him and exchange hopes for the 2008 elections. Wednesday evening also offered Cheryl and I the opportunity to meet with another influential politician this time on the State level. Hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Mike Norris (son of Chuck Norris) at the Texas movie premier of Bella; I was able to speak with the Texas state Governor Rick Perry who presented the movie.
Thursday July 19th was a day in Texarkana Invited by Mr. Mark Graves they were scheduled to attend the Texas Republican Women’s monthly GOP meeting. I was greeted with open arms, wonderful food, and fantastic entertainment which included the opportunity to listen to the guest speaker of the night, Texas Secretary of State Rodger Williams. Mr. Williams stressed the importance of encouraging every eligible citizen to vote in the upcoming election, young and old. Mr. Williams also stressed the importance of Texas leading the nations way for voter turn out numbers. The encouragement of voters is at the top of the campaign to do for all of those working on my campaign.
As I continue to travel around the district I enjoy meeting with people from many different backgrounds with different interests.
