I mom am very involved with-in the political realm and so is my 15 years old daughter, and I am told my speechs and child speeches always make a signifacant fdifferance.

Well and me parent both Type 1, both doing all need to and advocate all the time for all! Lisa Lessard 451sweetocean28@sbcglobal.net
