Yes he can!

Purpose
Political discourse, enlivened by the convergence of various life experiences into one virtual town hall (or the place were I flush out some ideas, whatever's on).
The Author
About Me
- Joe
- My book would document the things most important in my life and give my son an indication of what made dad tick. Subjects would include: Family, lessons learned, interests, and political evolution that leads to what I hope will continue to be an evolving life outlook. I hope to cultivate such a narrative (in rough draft form) on these pages.
