As I’m sure you’re aware from all the news coverage, our legislators will probably be debating and voting on health care reform bills before the end of the month.

Hello Obama Supporters!
Well, the economy is still tough, but we have a lot to be happy about in these first days of President Obama’s administration. Most recently, the president released the “torture memos,” making it clear that our government officials cannot hide their decisions because we the people will find out. We also influenced [...]
Jay, Jill and I would stop at the Aurora office, pick up our walk packets and review them over coffee at Starbucks.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my law-enforcement officers. Imagine my glee as I headed to the breakfast area of our hotel (in my pajamas) to find 20-ish of the Treasury Department’s officers eating their breakfast. We’d see them later at the security check-in point.
Jane and I headed to the park, following [...]
I traveled to Reno, NV several times prior to and for the caucus. The Carson City trip was my third in the general election. Every time I went to Nevada I could see the decline in the economy. This trip report of canvassing in Carson City, NV is both sad and heartening.
