Yes. So I went to Washington last week and I took a whole packet with me. I put an agenda together. I had a meeting with Senator Cruz's office. I went to his office. I couldn't get a personal visit with him, but I was able to go to a coffee that he had where his staff was there, and I did get to meet him.
So I got to sit down with his staff, and I had my packet of her clemency paperwork and what's happening and just a brief description of why I was there. And I was fighting for her life. I'm fighting for her being now being disabled. I'm fighting for prisoner rights because they don't understand how bad things are in there. We've got no leader right now of the BOP.

I think if you take any message away from this at all, they are involved in so many different things that if you have 10 people that go and talk to the same person about the same issues, that's where you start having an impact. And when you start having more people, like 100 people or 1,000 people that are complaining about the same thing, then you start getting people's ears.

Well, then I went from Senator Cruz's office. I went to Rick Scott's office, Senator Rick Scott's office, and dropped the packet off there because I had been in communication with his office.
