SNOOKERED are the voters who are putting their trust and hope in him. We need to divide up the issues and then volunteer to watch them as legislation takes shape. There are many good watch dog orgs we can trust and reinterpret for the masses as we think is necessary. I now pay attention to Climate Reality Project and National Low Income Housing Coalition.
