I tweeted about this after Tony' story was up, and the Congressman responded to me in a similar fashion:   As you can see my last offer is to meet with him to help provide the education he needs.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
