Two blogs in one week after such a dry spell, it’s crazy I know, but I’m feeling in the mood to write these days. I wanted to highlight a few things based on my experience at FCNL, in DC/Congress, and in my understanding of human nature from this excerpt of this article in the NY … Read more
Not every day I get to take pictures of rising new stars on the political scene. The Honorable Senator Ken Salazar came across the street in on a cold windy day to join in celebrate with us at the Friends Committee on National Legislation for our Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design “Silver” Certification.
