Just trying to find out if transcripts are available. I’d like to share the content of the conference call with friends and relatives, but I don’t use any of the “social media”… All I know is e-mail…
Thank you!

Thank you so much for publishing the call for those that missed it. When I first got the petition I posted it on all of my sites including some blogs that I frequent along with others. Keep up the good work ONE, I hope there are more signatures on the way. Keep us up to date and keep bringing us causes we can fight for by doing something as simple as standing behind our signature. I look forward to all of the updates.

I support the debt cancellation efforts. The people are suffering and cannot afford basic necessities.
