This is for Mrs. Salama, Hi, I am James, I’m 53 yoa. I spend a lot of time watching world as well as national news. I am on medical disability bc of Parkinson’s disease. I was diagnosed at age 34. I was able to continue working up until 45 yoa. Law enforcement was my field of choice. I watch this lady and cannot help but be impressed with her knowledge and obvious intelligence.
I would greatly appreciate an autographed photo of yourself.
Ms Salama Iappreciated your response on MSNBC this evening. I hope people are really listening. Please keep that message that both sides need to embrace the improvement of those things which have improved and work together on the other things that need attention. WE have to come together in order for this to turn out in a positive way.
