Drinking Liberally - Happy Hour - Thursday at Ruby Tuesday's

Hi Everyone!

Join us for Drinking Liberally on Thursday evening at Ruby Tuesday's at Bailey's Crossroads from 7:00pm - 9:00pm.

This has been an interesting week, more GOP primaries and no one noticed, Herb Cain is endorsing Mitt, Santorum backed into an endorsement, and Ron Paul is not running but, waiting for the Convention. Obama has been storming the country with speeches and commercials. What is new in local politics? Have you been getting a lot of robo-calls lately?

We look forward to seeing you, bring a friend!
Quinn, Michelle and Bev

What a week so far, Newt is out of the race, Mitt says he is leading, but Ron Paul has a ton of convention delegates.

Let's talk about what is on your mind.
