And now for something to actually read

I wanted to get those all out as a framework. When looking at what political candidates had to say before, I didn't know what to make of their policies, because I didn't understand the policies that already existed. On a more personal level, I didn't really know how to help people who were in dire need and coming to me for assistance. So feel free to read or ignore the program descriptions as you like, or just use them as a resource later when you need to understand something. But getting them out of the way right off the bat was a priority, because when I look at political candidates and what they say about helping the poor, I want to actually know what they are talking about.

Now I want to start talking about the meat of this blog. How can we start helping the poor? How can our votes, our words, our volunteer time, and our money make the greatest difference? Of those who are seeking power, who is out to help the poor, and whose policies are actually going to make the greatest positive difference? These are some of the most important questions in my life. I want to do everything I can to find the answers.
