Early today, my Dad passed on into the next realm… he sees more clearly now than ever before in his 92 years—and he’s no longer tied down by time and place and gravity. Heartfelt thanks to the many friends around the world who have invested in prayers, provided emotional support, and expressed condolences…

Ted McGrath : On social issues like Women’s Rights, Gay Marriage and Immigration, the right wing of American politics continues to move further away from the right side of history, going even so far as to enshrine backward-looking and discriminatory ideas, language and policy goals as part of their official party platform. I’m rejecting the politics of “no” and supporting President Obama to keep our country on the right side of history and true to the principals of equality and justice upon which it was founded.
ALSO : ‘Shaping the Future’ We wanted to focus on Obama’s proactive vision for the country, one that promotes long term solutions to the problems we face. This quote sums up this philosophy, and also inspires us to make the future we want. (ALSO is Matt Lamothe, Julia Rothman and Jenny Volvovski)
Devin Washburn : One issue that really resonates with me is Obama’s support for gay marriage. Just the act of taking a stance like that is a major achievement. I wanted to create something simple and straight forward that expressed how something like this can bring the country together.
