Do politics cater to the special interest groups?

I wrote, earlier this week, about whether the GOP is watching the Democratic gatherings and if the GOP will learn from the appearances of their soon-to-be competition. Now comes a bigger question. Just who, or what special interest group, do you have to be to get a sit down with the major contenders? As I… Continue reading Do politics cater to the special interest groups?

Wow! I have so much produce I am not sure what to do with it anymore. Yesterday, my basket of farm foods – mostly vegetables – came from the small farm I deal with.
