Call Your Airport. Ask if they are playing the misleading, Hatch-Act violating message.

Keep calling Mike Johnson's office to have Adelita Grajava sworn in. She is the 218th signature. And right now the people of Arizona 7th are being re-taxed without representation because he won't swear her in. His number is 202-225-2000 or 202-225-2777  -  Especially if you’re in Arizona’s 7th district.
