REAL CHANGE
(not small change)
Poverty in America: Bigger than ever and rapidly spreading.

Unlike the manufactured "fiscal cliff" hysteria that continues to consume Washington politicos and pundits, the present pace of poverty really is dragging down our economy and our nation's potential for greatness.
Do something!
