Unify Democrats with Clinton/Obama ticket
In our last editorial, we called for a unified Democratic ticket with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. We were deluged with calls from mainly Blacks who were very upset that we endorsed Sen. Clinton for president. We also noted Obama's 11 straight primary victories over the New York Senator.

If not life ending, then your thought process ponders the end to an event or the point at which something ceases. The words connote a never ending list of probabilities no matter how you view them.
Why a Farmer Pushes the Final Call
Since I am now an apprentice at Koinonia Farm, I am learning more and more about the history of this place. I have a 22-year history with Koinonia, and I have lived in Americus for 8 years, 7 of those years, working with the Prison & Jail Project, so I thought I was pretty well aware of the stories of struggle.
