Sent to then President-Elect Obama's vision page at www.change.gov/, November 11, 2008.
100% of young black and Latino men graduate high school. Prisons and jails close for want of boarders. University rolls swell. Needle exchange programs are federally funded. The rights and dignity of drug users are respected. Public health and public safety work hand in hand. Drug treatment is available on demand. Housing is affordable and accessible. As my State's hepatitis coordinator, I receive calls from people who are no longer uninsured, and who, for the first time, have access to health care for hepatitis B & C. And, while I choose not to marry, as a gay person, it is my right.
