Tomorrow, around the country, is the annual "Buddy Walk" to benefit kids with Downs Syndrome!
Google National Downs Syndrome Society and see a list of cities where the walk will be held, or go online and donate if you can't walk!
These children and grown ups are special as they are without guile. While they are not always happy, they usually are the sweetest examples of the good in human nature! My grandson Logan is one such 4 year old. He is called "The Mayor" at his school because he always greets everyone with a wave and a 1,000 watt smile! My daughter brought the walk to our community and had over 3,000 show up the first year. They won an award for fastest start up of a Buddy Walk and were flown to NY and to D.C. (Proud Papa)! If you can't donate, just show up and walk. They have plenty of things for the kids and you can't help but leave with a smile on your face! Thanks to everyone who can help!

3. Some Democrats don't know the meaning of the word.
Equals recognize the inherent value of one another. It's the secret of religion, the recognition that each human being has a spark of the Divine. What makes us human is recognizing that Spark in others.
