Groups benefit from food drive
Editor:
Immediately following the election, a group of about 60 people that I have worked closely with on the Barack Obama Campaign for Change had received an e-mail from Barack thanking us for our support and asked us once again to join forces with him and Joe Biden and millions of other Americans to take on a service project to commence during the holiday season and culminating on Monday, Jan. 19, Martin Luther King’s National Day of Service.

Editor:

Editor:
At their Nov. 20 press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said they wanted to help the auto industry if the industry helps itself.
