Beginning this week, people can drop off cards addressed to “Recovering American Soldier” at Perry’s district office, 449 Route 6A in East Sandwich. The deadline is Dec. 1. Perry will cover the costs of mailing the cards. Regular office hours are held from 2 to 4 p.m. each Friday. If you cannot stop by during normal office hours, you can call the office at 508-888-2158 to arrange a convenient time to drop off cards.
“I believe we always need to express our appreciation for the sacrifices our armed forces have made for our country. Christmas and the holidays can often be a lonely time for those serving in the military, especially those in a medical facility, and I believe we can do our part by sending them cards expressing our support and gratitude for their service,” Perry said.
———————————————————————————— By the time you read this, you’ll know whether U.S. Rep. Michael Pence, R-Indiana, will be eating crow or eating shrimp. Pence, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs and Judiciary committees with Cape and Islands Congressman William Delahunt, placed a rack of barbecue ribs on the table, so to speak, as his bet on the outcome of the Patriots and Colts game yesterday.
Delahunt put up a bucket of shrimp (what no Wellfleet oysters?) as his bet. “I’ve never made a safer bet in my life,” Pence said before the game, adding that “Indiana pork is the best in the nation.” Presumably he means the other white meat and not special federally funded projects directed to the Hoosier state. ———————————————————————————— Supporters of Hillary Clinton will hold an organizational and informational meeting at 7 p.m.
