[Blindtlk] The Green Briar Resort

Sat Jul 23 17:28:46 UTC 2011

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

Speaking of West Virginia I wonder if we would ever hold a national 
convention at the Green Briar Resort. That place is luxury unlimited, a 
golfer's paradise, and has a long-kept secret that was revealed only 
recently. Is anyone up to sleeping in hotel rooms once reserved for members 
of Congress?

If that is not true then a relative of the man at the top wouldn't have said
it.
