Congratulations to AMBASSADOR John Hoover, just confirmed today as US Ambassador to Sierra Leone!! Thanks to all of you who signed the petition - every time someone signed, an email was sent to the US Senate leaders, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Harry Reid. That's 241 e-mails asking for their attention to this issue! Your participation made a difference!!! I am closing the petition now, but if you want to thank your Senators and leadership, that would be appropriate. You might add in an ask for them to fast track the promised aid to Ebola stricken areas. Look for a new petition on that soon!
