Some people may think this is just a photo op, but, they also don't know their history. Kerry was in that original group of Earth Day organizers.

Rolling Stone had a good article last December on Kerry and the Climate Change fight.

your granddaughter. She and all the other young people are the reason for everything we do and hope for.

(I've got one that age two. That is such a lovable time in a child's life -- of course all times in a child's life are lovable and amazing, but that age is just full of surprises and wonder.)
