Everything comes back to money and until we fix the money problems, we will never be able to solve our political issues as a country.

I attended the reorganization convention of the NCDP AANHPI Caucus to help make sure it happened, but did not expect it would be as intense as it was. Some L’s were definitely taken and I learned some things about how people make power moves in these arenas. Strategy is so important.
