Description
This site presents my most valued facts and opinions on health care, education, the environment, human rights and civil rights. I try to emphasize solutions over complaints.

Things this country has done wrong can be done better and will be done better once the public demands it.

Strengthening and promoting independent media are essential to preserving and protecting our democracy.
