Why is it that we hear more about politicians' alleged fact finding mission to an exotic local, rather than see news about his meeting his constituents who can not afford their higher property taxes or, are forced to choose to between eating and buying medicine?
Why don't we hear about the danger poisoned pet food has for humans, for the shamed seniors who supplement their meager meals with an artfully crafted dish of Crappo pet food?

There are people who live in war zones in the United States. Ask the little old lady in New York who got beaten up by a mugger. Ask the woman who was shot by two cops on no knock warrant, after she shot at them, thinking they were housebreakers.

Ask the students who fear to go to school, the bus riders who fear getting killed by a drive by shooter, or the teachers who are scared to give failing grades.
