Think local, Act local list - Notes for Conversations That Matter podcast

- Eric wrote back in Sept. 2016, - "The most depressing aspect of the presidential election isn’t the candidates we have to choose from, but how many individuals seem to believe the next president will have a greater impact on their lives than the impact each individual can have on his or her own life."
