Joseph G. Stearns

 On 11/1/2011 I chose courage and choked back the tears and spoke at my
first Belfast City Council meeting exposing the White/Pink/Blue collar
official thugs. This stranger followed me out and told me that they will
NEVER stop. Right then and there, I promised neither would I. Thanks
Joe- you made me go.
