At least not before the election. After they serve and we have an inkling of their real inner workings? maybe, but before the vote. um...not so much. so the best I can do is try to find out all I can and then vote and pray. it's frustrating.

It was hard to describe the emotion felt within that place...to read about the struggle and pain and to sense the hope that things would get better.
