You play a role, we each play a role; the movement is bigger than any of us as individuals. Together we can accomplish great things. If TPN isn't interested in your contribution, others will be; we have some differences among ourselves, but our focus must ultimately be the same - toss out the lefties! Pick you head up my friend - we are winning ! Focus on the positive and keep the faith. Thanks to Eric, Ken and many others, we are on the right track! PS My wife and I have always enjoyed your songs - Keep up the great work! Your friend, Derrick Waggoner Bruce,

When i arrived carrying a table and chair up the steps for someone who ran a booth, i was treated as if they didn't know who i was even after seeing me sing in Cookeville twice and wore the same clothes. Maybe they were pressured to start the event. I may have worn out my welcome when i posted my news of singing in DC on 9-12 a few times but when warned, i stopped. After months of not visiting the site, i posted one time about a brand new song i was coming out with and they deleted it my post. Now they've banned me from being a member of TPN because i posted someone else's comment/concern about the price of the event. I also posted when others said it was a good deal. When I'm not promoting a song, i post negative and positive things on different issues and enjoy their replies...I honestly think the organizer was upset with me long before the post when i sang at the Municipal Auditorium against HIS advise. I hope I'm wrong and can still be a voice for our greater cause even if just in a song. Thanks, Continued Success, and God Bless! your cajun buddy, Bruce Dear Eric, I can only speak from my experience from being invited to sing on the steps of our TN state capitol and being told twice to sing my song…once to warm up the crowd then being told no time for it and then when someone said to stick Bruce in a no-show spot, the event co-ordinator reluctantly said ok so i stood there on stage and my friends from Crossville were left disappointed when i was skipped over and they ran out of time.
