Every day is a new day and with that, a new opportunity.
EVERYONE is welcome and please join us each morning at 7:30 AM PACIFIC

:: MINE ::
Climate Change: You would think that Hurricane Sandy would be more of a wake-up call for our nation. Making definite changes to halt climate change should be a top priority.
Health Care: Start working on the next level of healthcare reform in terms of more, not less. I want Single Payer Health Care for all.
Get out of Afghanistan: And... no more wars. 'Nuff said.
I have more, see my tip jar. ;)
What Are Your Top Three Priorities for Obama?
