Whether you vote Republican or Democrat, you and I both know that next year a new home will still cost a little more and health care insurance will be more expensive -- if you can get it at all.

A lone voice -- even a very smart, charismatic one -- isn't going to get anything done. So, the only way to start really changing things for the better is [Response was truncated to maximum response length of 2000 characters.]
