As the Founder of the FealGood Foundation John Feal has had incredible achievements and continues the tremendous goals he’s set for himself either by choice or challenge. On December 22rd, 2010, just three days before Christmas and while holding the US Senate & Congress from starting their holiday break, John and his team of Responders and Volunteers watched the proud moment of a Unanimous vote by the entire Senate to pass HR 847. Coming full circle to 2011 the FealGood Foundation and Mr. John Feal have now made it their mission to assure transparency in the new ‘James Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation’ law. John spreads himself between fund-raising for incredibly important causes directly related to the Responders and all those affected by 9/11 and its aftermath, to lobbying the many sub-committees involving the Zadroga law to holding forums to make sure the Responders know their rights as they pertain to the law. John has now been influential in the passing of 2 bills since 2004, and continues to strive with his grass roots activism. Mr. Feal has been prominently featured in two documentaries: Robert Greenwald’s Sierra Club Chronicles 9/11 Forgotten Heroes; and in Heidi-Dehncke-Fisher’s Dust to Dust: The Health Effects of 9/11.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spicer was communications director of the Republican National Committee from 2011 to 2017, and its chief strategist from 2015 to 2017.
