Convicted Sex Offenders and Felons Should Not Be Elected. Ever....
Mel Reynolds wants to be re-elected “So he can finish the work.” Seriously? What “work” would he like to “finish”? Perhaps sexually assaulting more minors? Perhaps committing more bank fraud?

It’s All in the Planning
In April 2011, I made myself a promise to exercise at least 4 days a week. For the past 4 months, I have made a point of exercising nearly every day. Since February, I have also tracked my food using MyFitnessPal.com. This tool has helped me lose 15 pounds, since February 26, 2012, by tracking and planning my exercise and my meals. Every week, I set a new goal for myself by changing one thing. Just one thing....
