Local Environmental Citizen, Harry Davis

Recently, I had the pleasure of having a meal and beer with my good friend, Harry Davis. Harry is very committed to working in a local way to mitigate the effects of environmental degradation and global warming. Earlier in the day, he did volunteer work by planting a community-based organic garden using heirloom seeds.

By growing a portion of our own food, we learn a great deal; including discovering first-hand appreciation for those who provide us with food. We also decrease the transportation costs and thereby of help to lesson global warming.

President's Weekly Video Address: Credit Card Reform

President's Weekly Video Address: Credit Card Reform

The new presidential initiative announced below takes away disincentives for workers who have lost jobs from seeking retraining and education and makes it more possible to immediately gain new educational skills to fill jobs that remain in demand. For me, it is exciting to witness bold action that helps people being put into practice at a time when it is needed.

Big Money Likes Tax Loopholes... Not Happy with President's Proposals

Supporting policy that makes better sense for middle class Americans, by closing down loopholes in our tax code that permit skimming what should stay here - for jobs and revenue - and exporting it elsewhere, makes sense to working people. I find it very interesting to note that actually doing this, as the President proposed, (see below), will be opposed by many in congress who will give lots of reasons, other than real ones having to do with big money supporters, for opposing what makes good sense to most Americans.
