Vince Suzadail Jr. June 24, 2013 at 6:57 PM I've said this before. We do need change, not 2008 change. We need 1776 change. Both parties are screwing us and protecting the upper 3%.

Connie Marcum Wong May 6, 2013 at 5:00 AM I totally agree. Time to speak up, write about these things to give a voice to others, which you have so brilliantly done here Michael. There is great power in numbers and the loudest voice gets heard. Mahalo
