He always told me voting wasn’t just about election day, it was about what goes on before and after that, and he encouraged me to understand the process. 10/30/2022 12:00 AM

You probably know people who complain about the state of our country, or our state, or county, or city. Yes, there is a lot to be irritated about, but is it enough to just store up that frustration or can we get the complainers to take the next step toward a solution? 10/02/2022 12:00 AM
