My heroes are community organizers!
I saw a blurb of "vote for a hero or zero?" Not all our heroes are ones wearing uniforms.

1. It's amazing that they've chosen this course to go after Obama
The first 2 days of their convention was about service. They even had signs that said service. They also had people share their stories of working in the community. Poppy Bush had his Thousand Points of Light.

I'm waiting for this to blow up in their faces.

Some stay and combat poverty and others ills right here at home.

Both save American lives.

and my other friend who is the director of First Street Mission and my other friend who is Director of Community Outreach for our church how they feel about not having 'actual responsibilities'.
