I, my two brothers, my daughter and two nieces are all grateful products of the Fairfax County, VA, school system. Hooray for the decision to stay away from the ridiculous rulings of Governor Youngkin!

Exciting news from the very small town of Mosier, Oregon, pop. 500. Challenged by a series of environmental challenges, plus a school that needed major retrofitting, the town has begun using private and public funds to embrace green energy in sustainable, job-producing ways. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/08/15/mosier-oregon-green-energy-fossil-fuels/

Echoing the poster who called this "a balm for the soul." It's also a topical ointment for the brain... 😂

Sure will! Actually do you have a link to a news article about her bad fundraising? This one is taing a slightly different angle.

Ciao from Italy Janet - this is such great news! Just a reminder for all the folks in the CO 3rd district - if you know people who are living or studying abroad THEY CAN VOTE! Our overseas votes can be the margin of victory. But we have to register and request our overseas ballots - it's a simple process actually just go to https://votefromabroad.org - in Colorado the entire process can be done via email! https://www.votefromabroad.org/states/CO. Best wishes, Kelly!
