...GOOD DAY TO ALL, AND HOPE ALL IS WELL. BRIEFLY SPOKE WITH STERLING YESTERDAY AND HE MENTIONED THAT HE RECEIVED ANOTHER VISIT FROM THRASHER, THE DEPUTY SECRETARY, SENATOR PETERSON AND ANOTHER SENATOR, HE COULD NOT REMEMBER THEIR NAME. THEY BRIEFLK SPOKE TO INMATES IN THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROGRAM AND THEN STOPPED AND SPOKE WITH STERLING AND A FEW OTHERS. MAINLY WANTED TO DISCUSS WAYS THE DOC CAN REDUCE SENSORY DEPRAVATION AND HOW TO MAKE IMU "MORE ACCOMODATING". STERLING FEELS THEY ARE RUNNING WITH THEIR TAILS TUCKED BETWEEN THEIR LEGS. THIS UPCOMING HB AND VERY STRONG SUPPORT FROM VARIOUS AGENCIES THAT ARE PUTTING HEAT ON THE DOC, AND THEY ARE NOT BACKING DOWN AND ARE TIRED OF THE LAME EXCUSES AND LACK OF STATISTICS AND WORD PLAY THE DOC IS SO FAMOUS FOR ! THE ZOOM MEETING LAST EVE WAS AGAIN VERY PRODUCTIVE AND RACHAEL SEEVERS AND HER SUPPORTERS ARE MAKING SOME GREAT HEAD WAY. ALL ARE ATTENDING MEETINGS WITH THE KEY HOLDERS IN THE STATE AND THEY HAVE BEEN FIERCE WITH THEIR CLEAR OBJECTIVES REGARDING THE REVISED HB. ONE POSITIVE NOTE FROM STERLING'S CONVERSATION WITH THRASHER AND HE SENATORS IS THAT THEY ARE HOPING TO HAVE TABLETS FOR ALL IN IMU BY BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR , SO THAT WILL BE SOME PROGRESS AND MS. SEEVERS VERIFIED THAT LAST NIGHT DURING THE ZOOM MEETING. REMINDER TO FIND STERLING ON FACEBOOK UNDER "THUNDER TEX" AND SEND A FRIEND REQUEST !!! HIS FACEBOOK WILL ALSO HOST POSTS AND THOUGHTS FROM STERLING AND IS LINKED TO OUR NON-PROFIT "THE THUNDER'S BELLA PROJECT", WE ARE HOPING FOR SOME DONATIONS TO FOCUS ON CHILDREN THAT WERE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE RECENT DEVASTATING TORNADO THAT DEMONLISHED ENTIRE TOWNS IN KENTUCKY. CONTINUED BLESSING TO THOSE FAMILIES IN DIRE NEED. LASTLY HERE ARE SOME LINKS THAT WERE SHARED IN THE ZOOM MEETING LAST NIGHT. SOME ARE TESTIMONIES FROM INMATES THAT WERE PRESENTED DURING LAST YEAR'S LEGISLATURE AND MORE INFORMATION ON THE HB.
