En un año electoral que ha estado marcado por la división y el conflicto, desde el nivel presidencial hasta las contiendas locales, es aún más sorprendente que California cuente con una propuesta estatal que tiene el apoyo de una amplia y diversa lista, la cual incluye a sindicatos, comercios, y grupos de salud, así como líderes políticos de los dos principales partidos.

Twitter is ruining America. Many Americans seem to agree that we are reaching a very divisive point in our history. There are many arguments available as to why this is the case, and many probably have some truth to them. Twitter is pretty high up on my list of offenders, dragging us down with the facade of constant communication as a means for bringing us together, when really, it is driving us apart.

Kansas is not typically a state that gets much attention during an election year. It is generally considered a solid red state; however, that began to change in 2014 when independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman ran a close race against Republican incumbent U.S. Senator Pat Roberts.

San Diego, CALIF. - Mayor Kevin Faulconer is continuing his efforts to reduce homelessness in San Diego with his most recent hire, Stacie Spector. Spector will be a senior advisor on housing solutions, working to unify existing efforts in San Diego’s longstanding struggle with homelessness.

It’s no longer cute, quaint or acceptable for the federal government to be so behind the times with respect to modern technology. More than any other force at work in the world, technology has the potential to radically change the way we live, and do away with a number of problems we’ve struggled to solve for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
