I am a political activist that wants real change. I do not believe that we can effect change by remaining in our own comfort zone. If you are only engaging with those that think like you, progress cannot be made and understanding among ideologies is non-existent. In that light I have started over the years […]

In the article below Paul Begala lays out some truths that neither the main stream media and for sure not the right wing media will articulate or force the Republicans to explain not less defend.

Let me be clear, I REALLY DO NOT CARE. Actually, I want every Texan, or for that matter every American who has that itch, that desire, that […]
