		<description><![CDATA[By The Apostate Tuesday&#8217;s election results left something to be desired as a person valuing women&#8217;s health, access to health care, education, small businesses, and other vital supports and economic drivers. This election was heavily influenced by big corporate money, negative campaign ads, misleading messages and a whole lot of dirt. The special interests who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I-1098 is a tax reform measure devised by a broad-based coalition of respected business, labor, religious, and civic leaders to make our state tax code more fair. I-1098 would cut taxes for middle-class families and provide critical revenue to protect education and health care priorities like K-12 class-size reduction and Basic Health. It also includes [...]]]></description>

McDonald&#8217;s should change its slogan to &#8220;Killing Customers and the Competition since 1955.&#8221; At first it might seem a little lofty to [...]]]></description>

They feel isolated and assume that no one else is in the room, so they don&#8217;t have any incentive to get up, walk around, bump [...]]]></description>

I was disheartened to learn of the Mayoral smackdown that occurred within the last decade when certain commissioners were too outspoken on the issue of gay rights. I was discouraged upon volunteering for [...]]]></description>
