Oct 2013

I'm loving what the President and the Dems (well most of them) in Congress are doing.

It feels so good to be proud of them!

Also, don't forget to call.write to your Congressperson. If he/she is a good Democrat thank them and encourage them to keep it up. ( just did to Chris Van Hollen.) If it's a Republican...well...you know what to do!
