Please enjoy a guest post by Julianna Ormsby, lobbyist for the Nevada Women’s Lobby. (Full disclosure: I’m on the women’s lobby’s steering committee.) Left behind in ’09 No, not “Left Behind”, the apocalyptic series of doom starring Mike Seaver. This entry, unfortunately, refers to those people who stand to be left behind in the coming…
Today’s guest post is from local Planned Parenthood’s Annette Magnus: What a difference a day makes!

I like to think my little letter-writing campaign had something to do with Home Depot’s new campaign to take back spent CFLs (compact fluorescent lightbulbs). Admittedly I’m biased, but I think…
