Who's excited for the #cherryblossoms ?!? Have you ever wondered how the cherry blossom festival comms team deals with moving around all of the events to accommodate our wacky DC weather? Find out on this week's Flack Pack!

[Flack Pack @FlackPackDC]

It’s March, which means cherry blossom season is upon us. But for the @CherryBlossFest communications team, it’s a culmination of a full year’s work. We sat down with two members of their team to learn about the #PR behind the annual "sakura" blooms.

I’m pro-life, and not in the talking point of “not for me but okay for other people” sense. I stand by what I said this morning, if the Democratic Party wants to be the party of late term abortion and infanticide, they won't just lose - history will judge them for what they did.
