Blast from the past - The Colbert Report04-23-2012
Blast from the past: four years ago was my first appearance on The Colbert Report. The Democratic Party leadership told representatives to avoid Colbert, but I couldn't resist going on the show (twice)!
YTI Career Institute02-16-2012
I had a great time getting to know the students and administrators at the YTI Career Institute in Lancaster, PA. These students reminded me so much of my sailors -- they will be the artisans of the future. Was even able to help one of them -- a mother of two returned from Iraq -- be accepted into the new G.I. Bill program. President Franklin Roosevelt once said, "the G.I. Bill gives emphatic notice to the men and women of our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down." The new G.I. Bill is a renewal of that commitment, and provides us a model of which we can build a better America. The more rungs and ladders of opportunity, the more people can climb and contribute to our nation. More, not less, rungs and ladders for our next generation02-06-2012
Tomorrow, the Governor of Pennsylvania will announce his budget proposal which rightly must address the deficit. Of concern, it is expected to further mortgage our children's and State's future by additional reductions in our educational investment. Yet, to help prevent this, revenue is not raised from those energy companies that drill in our Commonwealth, like the other top 15 natural gas producing states do. The harm from last year's reductions can be seen in the Chester-Upland School District which may now shut down, even as teachers would continue to educate, without pay. I was on the Ed Schultz Radio Show to describe the situation, arguing that if we want to build a better America, then we need to build more rungs and more ladders for our next generation to climb in order to contribute, not take them away.

A case for facts, statistics, and common sense. Let’s be #OPEN about it.
Across the internet today, you’ll see some of your favorite websites “blacked out” in protest of something called SOPA – the Stop Online Piracy Act. However, don’t be fooled by its seemingly straightforward title: SOPA is one of the greatest challenges to a free and open web that we’ve ever faced. Ultimately, it’s a right step, but in the wrong direction. SOPA’s original intention was to protect intellectual property created by American artists, yet the result is something much different: an unfair restriction on many American websites, like YouTube and Reddit, that we’ve come to love.
