Yeah, I've gotten that response from them as well. They are not very pro-active and I think they have little funding to work with.

Those of you who take lots of...

I think Hillary's strategy at this point is to keep running so that Obama is forced to select her as Vice President.  It's very unlikely that she will catch up in the delegate count, or even popular vote, and she is losing superdelegates daily. However, she still has enough strength to be the likely...

I found these houses on the KC Bungalow Web site.  Does anyone know where they are? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/FangKC/Yahoo/Bungalow1.jpg This one is one of my favorites. I love the landscaping. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/FangKC/Yahoo/Bungalow7.jpg http://www.kcbungalow.org/

Somewhere on this forum is mention of the KC Bungalows group. Surely, some of the members would probably be able to recommend someone.

That beats other common items like newspapers and water bottles. The average home creates more pollution than the average car. EPA's Ea...
