Bio
Born a Democrat. Lost the faith (and interest) then made it back by listening to Rush. Yes, Rush. Because I had to build a solid foundation to protect me from someone who hates my America as much as he does.
Just finished a few years on the board of a Democratic volunteer group, and got to be one of the 538 to cast electoral votes in 2008.
