Real change starts at home

We must not allow our lives to be governed by politically subjective talking points. It is imperative we direct ourselves to unprejudiced understanding and attain a knowledge that transcends political party lines.

With the current deep and yawning chasms of political dissension, compromise and reason stand to bridge the immense divide.

We hold an obligation and a devoir to our community by remaining cognizant of the current world affairs that transpire.

It is a requisite we seek continual understanding while inaugurating a willingness to listen and cease the campaign to be heard.

Becoming involved, active and coalescing within your community is the true catalyst for reform that will facilitate real change, real progress.

Before we think to change the issues in the White House might we not first look to the opportunity in remedying our own house.
