Hello blogosphere

I just created my own blog so I thought I'd use this first post to share a little about what I hope to use this blog for. One of the passions in my life is political policy. More specifically, I believe in fighting so that everyone has the same opportunities to succeed and find fulfillment in whatever path their lives take them down. To often the voices of these historically underserved and disenfranchised citizens go unheard and unnoticed. One of the purposes of my blog is going to be to share my thoughts and opinions on current events that relate to issues like health care, public education, racial equality, LGBT equality, and poverty. I would also like to use this blog to comment on politics in general.

Although I will certainly use my blog for other reasons as well, this will be its main focus. I will close this first post with one of my favorite quotes from my favorite leader, Robert F. Kennedy.

"We all struggle to transcend the cruelties and follies of mankind. That struggle will not be won by standing aloof and pointing a finger; it will be won by action, by men and women who commit their every resource of mind and body to the education and improvement and help of their fellow man."
