August 6, 2017

    The problem solvers of Congress are a good beginning, representing 8% of our Statesmen and women. To swing votes toward the center, at least  25% of our Congressional Representatives should be willing to cross party lines for the benefit of “We the People”.  People before policy!    Many would argue that their Party … More The Voice of Joyce:#Say No Tax Cuts, Generate Revenue & Restore Equality.
