You can also do this on your children and think of your grandchildren, they might be affected. If you have sent money through Western Union and gotten swept up in that scam. The deadline for that is coming up quickly Feb. 12, 2018. The phone number to call to file a claim is 844-319-2124.

Part 2: Ray asks Jane to expand on the Western Union. Maine Attorney General’s office has a list of some of the scams out there. If you have lost money wiring money through the Western Union scam, there is a website that you can get some of your money back. This is the link to the information.

01-31-18 American Dream
Part 1: The boys talk about the frowning of the democrats during the speech and then they go into who and when the audience stood for good points. The Democrats didn’t stand for anything. They also talk about the American Dream. It isn’t just the “Dreamers” who have a dream.
Part 2: Ray, David and Rich talk about the American Dream and the contrast between the Democrats and Republicans. The boys also hit on the minimum wage issue. An entry job is just that and entry job. You climb the ladder with hard work and how you succeed is on you as the employee, not employer. Then Ray goes onto drug abuse and the Naloxone debate. They end up going to Shawn Moody and the press release lying about his position on the Naloxone and drug issue facing Maine. Rich goes off and tells everyone what Shawn wants and he wants after they get elected.
