I was born in 66. I am a disabled woman. I have never married. I am straight. I went to college. I have a successful career and am well regarded by my peers. I own my own home although it, like so many, is threatened by the Foreclosure crisis sweeping through this nation. Much of what I am I worked hard to accomplish but most of what I am comes from this country and the opportunities that it offered.  

And I look around now and see that this is not the country I grew up with.
