That's probably why so many things can go wrong in our country: because no one pays attention!<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, the tides will shift at some point.

GLBT Americans have a fundamental duty to be politically active. By ignoring the issues, we ignore our future. We all should educate ourselves on the candidates and where they stand on the issues that affect us. Afer all, who else will do it? HRC.com is an excellent resource for this type of information.

One actually pointed to Kansas (and NO--just because it also starts with a K is no excuse).Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.com
