I deeply appreciate your years of viewership, interaction & support.

It's Folks like you that assure me I'm not just venting my spleen in a closet!

I cannot wait for this outcome in November.

Duane, I was so happy to meet you at Gart. I have been hoping for 2 years that you would eventually attend. You belong here. You are a very big voice in this movement as is Brian. You have the admiration of all of us in the movement. I hope this weekend truly invigorated you to keep on doing what you are doing and I expect to see you at future Garts. Best damn people on Earth! God Bless you and Brian. David Becker

Thank you David, my fears turned out to be unfounded as the spirit of togetherness in a great cause manifested strongly in me. I'm looking forward to November for the election AND GART 6 in Myrtle Beach.

Hi Duane, I was so happy to see that you and Brian were going to be in attendance, although it made me that much sadder to have missed the in-person event myself. One day I am going to make it to a GART event and I really hope when that happens you will be there and I can thank you in person. I pray for your good health and look forward to your expanded digital footprint! LFG!

Bravo, Duane!!! Wonderful rundown on your whole GART 4 - Dallas adventure. And bless Brian for his part in your attending the weekend events. It was great to see you there (though only virtually) and now it's even more rewarding to hear exactly what was going on within you to make it happen. Your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!

Bravo, I’m so proud of you for overcoming your fear! I went to one day of GART in January and it was really amazing. You have given me the courage to face some thing that I am going through and to keep on doing the good work no matter how frightened or grease stricken I am. Thank you.

Duane great to hear you came to North Texas. I was minutes away, but had other obligations.

Duane, take the bill by the horns and get back to good health. You have so much talent. Your insight is amazing. I agree with your brother, start making a bigger digital footprint. Your angle is unique, and very inviting. Prayers to you brother.

Thank you, uhhh. Mr. Prick!

I'm committing to being 300 lbs by November's GART 6 in Myrtle Beach.

As for growing my footprint, I'm focused on that for the immediate future!

Well done for overcoming your apprehensions and inhibitions, Duane. I'm very pleased for you.

Well done also to Brian for twisting your arm!

I've had my own issues this year, following my quadruple heart bypass op. I can certainly relate to the tiredness and the feeling that even little things require so much effort that it's easier to simply put them off. Ultimately, the only way to get past these issues is to take them on, one by one, and keep going until they stop being issues at all.

Congratulations again for the progress you're making.
