    Where is Senator Clinton’s name on this list?

    Also, where are MY Senators’ names on this list? My Texas Senators really are embarassing on their lack of foresight on issues of extreme poverty.

    Try as hard as we do down here, they are some of the most intransigent Senators around and really do not listen to what their constituents want.

    My opinion after lobbying these two Senators for FIVE years on issues of AIDS and extreme poverty.

    I was gone all day staffing a ONE outreach booth at a SXSW music festival event here in Austin TX so I am just seeing this news.

    Can we still call our Senators tomorrow morning? I hope so.

    Take good care, my friends. Blessings – not just for those who kneel.

    AS ONE, debbie :)
