đ Joni Bryan & Your Meeting
Taking a moment to thank Joni for meeting with me and discussing the following:
Discussed with Joni the critical notion that rights derive from God, not government, and that elected officials are servants of the people, especially under the 5th and 14th Amendments protecting property rights.
Thanked her for distributing Pocket Constitutions in schools nationwide, including Broward County.
Discussed her next September 17 event in Tennessee â the annual Constitution Day gathering.
