Cali Girl

9\18\10

 

Inspired by my granddaughter Cali.  I can’t help but wonder, as I look at this perfect little human girl, what she is going to grow into…..and what the environment might be for her and others in the future.  I propose that every politician from this day forward be required to have grandchildren, and base their policy’s on what it might mean to them rather than the special interest groups and corporations that feed their re-election war chests.
