Congressman Perez relinquished the floor to the next congressman in the queue. I sent a mental command to Joe, Send him a personal letter from me, please. Tell him that I applaud and admire his principled stance on the issue of the Universal Earth Concord. Tell him that I, or Maribel, would be happy to appear at a campaign event and offer our endorsements for his re-election if he wishes, regardless of the outcome of the vote or how he himself votes on the proposal.
Acknowledged, Joe replied.
The questioning did not finish the first day. It lasted a full eight hours plus an hour for lunch. During the lunch hour, Maribel, Mom as Susana, and I grabbed a quick bite, then wandered through the congressional cafeteria saying hello, shaking hands, and chatting informally about our work and about my vision for Universal Earth Concord.
