RESULTS Musings

Ken Patterson

RESULTS is a voluntary citizen advocacy group creating change for those living in hunger and poverty. We work with government decision makers and the public to make change inevitable and give citizens the keys to drive their democracy. Podcasts will appear at least monthly starting in late 2006, and perhaps more often to include citizen training events and other enticing speakers.
