Unconditional War on Poverty – Driven by Heartfelt Experience

In 1964, I was in high school, when President Lyndon B. Johnson declared an “unconditional war on poverty”.   The last few days hearing his voice on the radio, and stories about his childhood in Stonewall, Texas in a house without electricity or indoor plumbing, has underscored the power of action driven by heartfelt experience.  Johnson talks about teaching poor students in 1928, never thinking he’d have a chance to really help those students get out of poverty, but now as President he had that chance and he declared, he meant to use it!  What does your heartfelt / life experience declare you do in 2014?  DO IT!
