It was seventeen years ago today that the most wonderful Daughter a Dad could ask for was born. I’ve truly lucked out in the child lottery and have been graced with a miraculous Daughter. This spring brings college visits and the next time you read this birthday wish for my baby, she’ll be of voting age!
Sasha, your strength, tenacity and compassion make you the kind of woman that the world needs more of.

I just caught this video yesterday and of course was moved to tears but was much like you not finding the perfect candidate, okay I’d settle for near perfect, okay I’d settle for someone with the Clinton experience and the Obama charisma. Then I read will.i.am’s words about his inspiration for the video and his involvement in politics and it all became clear. What I am looking for is the security of economics, health, education and opportunity for all Americans and especially the less fortunate (and world peace of course.)
Social change rarely happens from the top down it happens when people organize and agitate. I don’t have high expectations any progressive leader today can effect change with the current way government works in Washington. What will effect change is a leader that can motivate people to take to the streets and demand their rights and civil liberties. Then the choice becomes obvious. Yes we can!
