What A Busy Day Yesterday Was...... 9 Meetings.

I beat my all time daily record for meeting with political leaders that serve my area.

I had breakfast of green pancakes with Congressman Jim McDermott in the morning we talked about being over 50 and unemployed and social security cuts that Obama is talking about while pouring maple syrup. He was receptive about my experience of being unemployed and my age, he said to keep him up to date of my experiences. He also indicated that Obama has been a disappointment and unwilling to draw a line in the sand

The remainder of the day I met with 4 city council members from two citys 3 State Reps and a State Senator and the discussions ranged from the building of an entertainment facility in my city to education. All of these were individual meetings.

I was asked if I have ever considered a run for school board. Currently our schools are scoring a D- in national scores and currently all because of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. Our children are spending valuable time setting goals and preparing for test that could be used actually learning something. Our district is hesitant about developing a career training institute to prepare the kids for employment after graduation and we only have STEM in one school out of 10 that it could be in.

Our city wonders why manufacturing and corporation overlook us when considering a place to establish their business.

I cant do anything currently until my wife and I get out of the temporary housing we are in and will be in until I finish my current training.
