:: why ttd exists ::

this site exists for a myriad of reasons, the primary being that i have a passion for the democratic process and how its face evolves through all three branches of our government.  a majority of what I have to say will be my disection of events as they transpire in an attempt to give you a 360 degree view of what has happened on a day to day business as reported by the major news outlets.  bear in mind that everything based on whart i write about via the news as a whole will be exhaustively documernted and referenced.  however there is a time and place entirely for my opinion and that will be contained on segregated pages found through navigation at the top.  my goal at the end of the day is to get the nintendo, xbox360 and playstation3 generations interested and  far nore imporetantly engaged as a poliutical advocate.  the only manner through which our democracy will survive in any form is if every man and woman takes up their constitutionally protected right to vote and thus change the face, the arms, the legs, the eyes, and the bodyt of our nation through exercising the rights so many people have laid their lives on the solemn alter of freedom to secure.  if there is something you would like to see added to this site or a question about the inner workings of our government answered don't hesitate to send me an email.  (thouygh I will freely admit that at this time i am entirely consumed with getting the site as a whole off the ground.  as soon as that is accomplished i will make sure that more than one email address is made available for those that have questions they wish to ask both annonymously and otherwise.

                                                                                                  

:: who i am and motivations ::

this site exists because i am very much a student and lover of the democratic process as a whole.  over the past three decades the 18-30 age demographic barely put a dent in voting outcome even in presidential elections and it is my hope to both explore the democratic process, our thgree branches of government in detail, follow up to the minute tidbits of political interest and attempt to be at least a small part in the underlying whole that represents the catalyst that will ignite the wildfire that must burn before folks in my age bracket lose interest and ultimately renounce their inherant constitutionally protected right that so many people have laid their lives on the alter of freedom to ensure they keep: the right to vote so few arrogantly toss aside as irrelevant.  if i can plant a seed in the soul of a single individual, inspire college students to peraceably assemble and make policy decisions through their right to vote i know that we will have honored those that opened their veins to ensure the stripes on our countries flag remain red.  i am a twenty something disabled individual in the twilight of my life having fought the good fight against the demon that is cerebral palsy and if i am doomed to remain still i refuse to let go of the belief that i haven't the skill and prowess needed to make a difference, even if the only part of me that moves are my fingers on the keyboard.  there is no doubt that my disability will claim my life, and in that respect i am a spartan facing the armies of the persian empire as they descend on thermopolie.  my fall may be certain, but before i open and close my eyes for the last time the enemy i cannot see smell taste or touch will shudder at the bellow of my battle cry.  in the face of arrows that are certain to blot out the sun i am resolute to fight in the shade, and fall a warrior that never once shied away from battles few can say that they foughtt on similar grounds -- or circumstances.

starting over again -- thanks to getting sick

i thought i had this squarespace interface all figured out and managed to trash all the content that i had worked so hard to create in the first place so here i am starting over from scratch.  this is a lot harder than i thought it would be when i started - of course getting sick right after you get under way doesn't help things any at all.  i watched the state of the union with a fever, so i have to do that all over again and now SQUARESPACE is all hot and bothered that i havent decided on an account class.
