Where do you fit politically? Before starting this assignment I have always thought that I would be in a party that had nothing really to do with Republicans or Democrats. Why should I relate to something that in my opinion always either has a strong left or right brain about something that could easily be just in the middle.

from the top of the swaying bridge over the Yuba River‚ ready to leap and never look back. I close my eye and feel a single hot tear slide down my goosebumped face. Everything seems to stop for just a moment‚ a single‚ beautiful moment where I feel like I can fly. Where I feel safe. Protected. But the moment always passes‚ and it flies away as quickly as it came. I turn to my mission and look down. The rushing river beckons to me. My final resting place. I take a deep breath.
