I just sent out our next set of campaign contributions, including to yours. I was already going to send you some money anyway, but this article shows you are exactly who we need in the Senate. I shared this article on my FB page and asked my friends and family to donate as well.

What a wonderful inspiring story during a year of hateful politics and discrimination of the "less thans" of our country. I don't live in your state, but I can send a few dollars and encourage others. We need more men like you in our Congress more than ever. 🇺🇸👍🏼🤞🏼❤️

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE WIN! We, the country as a whole, need you to kick Hawley's ass and join my US Senators (incumbent Gary Peters and future senator Elissa Slotkin) in our governing coalition. Great story and, for me, so relatable.

Dear Lucas, thank you for your story! We are seriously broke, and I've just donated today's limit of $15. I am sure, however, that we need you in the Senate. Keep in touch with me, and I'll support you and get your name out there.

Once again a well told story, relatable, and full of good life experiences that make us the people we become. Wishing you the very best for an Election Day outcome.

Lucas, now I think you're alright since you in 9th grade had what looks just like the Macintosh Power PC 6600 pizza-box computer I had in the 1990s. Loved it and eventually passed it along to my father to continue using till he migrated to a blue iMac.

I'm sure your use of that Mac contributed your who you are today.

That was my story, too, Mr K, almost exactly, except for the Mr H part. So thanks so much.

Absolutely powerfully beautiful. I grew up on a small farm in southern Ohio, a hop, skip and a jump from 'the river', the Ohio - and Kentucky. My beloved grew up a four generation Norwegian Native in the 'Little Finer' of Michigan, or as folks from there call it 'The County' on a cherry farm whose was great great grand Daddy's. I suppose before I got 'educated' at the University of Dayton, you'd call me a hill rat. I'll take it. After all I married the prettiest Norwegian Viking Queen ever. Made and lost a lot of money (2007 (Lehman brothers), sidelined by Parkinson's after I made it back. No companies in any category.

Kris Kristofferson wrote “Sunday Morin’ comin’ down.” Johnny Cash covered it. (Another generation than yours) Nice story. You’d get my vote if I lived in MO.
