Please help me in thanking these individuals by telling them "thank you" the next time you see them. Or if you can take the time, phone them and tell them how much you appreciate their support. Writing a handwritten letter goes a very long way in this digital age. (Okay you can send a text message if you want, that is appreciated too!)
If they are a business, please patronize their business and let them how much it means to you that they stepped up to the plate to help the ShowMeNoHate St. Louis movement.
