Merry Christmas to all! and to all a great 2022… ****** Well, December has been pretty eventful. And January promises to be even more so. We all wish you and your families a safe and wonderful holiday time – and the same for 2022. While we all navigate the confusion and complexities of the pandemic, we also are giving year-end thanks to Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, whose commitments to the country, two-party solutions, and the very neediest in our society are as strong now as they have ever been. It is both unsurprising and disappointing to see how much the media and some political figures have been misleading in characterizing Senator Manchin’s motives in saying he would not support his party’s current proposals in the Build Back Better legislation. We’ve been closing out our year making sure the truth is out there, as they say. |
