I am a semi-retired blues singer who grew up as a U.S. Army dependent.I only recently had the opportunity to go to college where I learned to research information and organize my thoughts. I have belonged for several years to the ACLU, World Wildlife Foundation, Amnesty International, Common Cause, The Nature Conservancy, The National Wildlife Federation, The Union of Concerned Scientists, The Humane Society and The Democratic Party. I've been a Kucinich supporter since he was Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Among my heroes are Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. M. L. King, Father Roy Bourgeois, Congresswoman Shirley Chisolm, Bobby Kennedy, Chief Quannah Parker, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Altman, Pauline Kael, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix. I intend to continue being a pushy broad until I draw my last breath.
