A tragic loss for America...

Today America has lost a great Congressman. This summer I was given the privilege to work in the office of Congressman Charlie Norwood, and it was there that I was given hope again that politicians could actually serve the best interests of this nation.

A simple dentist from Georgia, Charlie was not your typical politician. A pitbull in committee, he stood up for and fought for all that he thought was right in America, even through his battles with lung cancer. He was a Congressman who truly listened to and cared about not only his constituency, but the American people. Known for his battles to improve our nations healthcare system, Charlie's wisdom and insight will surely be missed in the coming years as we attempt to once again grapple with this pressing issue.

I ask for your prayers and condolences for his family and lovely wife Gloria.
