The Follow Me To DC campaing embarks on another road trip across the Gulf States to enjoy Thanksgiving in Georgia with Michelle's maternal grandmother. We will be stopping along the route to visit with Hurricane survivors and offer messages of hope. It is our wish that each of you this Thanksgiving, find the courage to rise up, thankful for the great leaders that have gone before, and push toward victory next November. It will be remarkable next year to look back on the friends we have made, the things we have changed and the demand list we will deliver to DC. I look forward to joining you all on the fight along the way. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. - David Harris, Candidate, TX 06
