Thank You for Your USSF Coverage
Although I couldn't quite do an interview on the last day as time ran out... I did have the opportunity to watch and listen to a few interesting passionate interview while being recorded. I was impressed with the dedication and care of the small free TV crew as they tried to accomodate as many people/activists as possible. Plan to come back and listen a few here. So great to see open and accessible free media that empowers citizen advocacy. Wish you remain in the air and prosper.
