Montgomery County received between five and eight inches of rain on Saturday. Overall, we are projected to get 30 inches for the month of July. On average, MontCo gets 30 inches a year. Should we really be turning over a portion of our stormwater program to profiteering private corporations?

The "swing voter" is NOT looking for a return to the way things were; they're looking for authentic, new ideas (or ideas that are so old they seem new) that are going to make their lives and --more importantly-- the lives of their children better. They're not the left, or the right or the center. They are our fellow Americans for whom the system does not work. They don't care about Socialism or Capitalism or Thisism or Thatism. They simply want a future.
If you want to win swing voter, your first duty is to acknowledge that they've been screwed by the system. Then, you must offer a vision --preferably one that has been shown to work-- of a future that works for them and their children.

When what you doing is NOT getting the job done, doing it harder isn't the solution. Do it differently. Change it up. My comments should be directed to my favorite millionaires (the Nationals) -players, manager, coaches, front office.

Don't vent; VOTE!

The Republican Admistration is set to offer $12 Billion in aid to Midwesterners affected by its erratic trade policies. If they can find $12 Billion for their screwed-up policies, they can find $12 Billion to send to Puerto Rico.

Corruption in government --either blatantly through bribes, or subtlety through campaign "donations"-- is a prime reason why eligible voters don't vote. The problem is that we cannot change corrupt governments unless we vote.
