Go Illini!

The Swing of Things
The semester is now almost in full swing, and things are really picking up. I have been very busy - not just with class, but also with heading the College Republicans chapter at my university.
I've been working on a lot of things for CRs... You can see about some of them at
the official UIS CR weblog.
I am off now to one of our 9/11 Remembrance events listed there... The Candlelight Vigil.
I'll have more stuff up here soon.
For now, I want to suggest that we all spend today (what's left of it), reflecting on the atrocity that befell our nation three years ago, and about the issues, policies, people, places, and events regarding this tragedy.
God bless our nation. May he keep us strong and safe, and be with our leaders, and our people, in the near and distant future, helping to guide our actions and emotions.
