It's tax time and I know many of you are doing exactly the same thing that I'm doing: But, as I contemplate the value of what we all are doing on this day, how is it that the people we elect to be stewards of our nation's resources can tell us that there's not enough money for infrastructure, health care, and education while they're spending $720 million each and every day for a war the majority in Congress say they're against?

If, under the circumstances, you're in need of a little spiritual lift, a sign that there is hope, please view this video where you'll see a young woman give us her thoughts about this election season and the real reasons we vote. From her testimony, you will see that we are not working in vain. We are being heard.
