    Hey Fellow Gulf Coast Resident!
     
    I applaud your initiative in posting the numerous links in this new blog of yours.  Being an advocate for change is as important to me and other Democrats as it is to you, probably a Dem as well, right?
     
    By the way, I sent Dubya, former Governor of Texas, the state so few miles west of you, words encouraging his lame duck administration to improve the lot of those in Darfur.
