My OPTION Act is the only alternative to Obamacare that allows the patient to have full control of their coverage – even once they're on Medicare. While Obamacare is a complex, 2,700 page bill, my OPTION Act puts forward several important reforms in just...

The book is considered a masterpiece and sometimes compared to Thoreau's "Walden." Here are the opening lines, where he's describing the Arches National Monument in Utah: "This is the most beautiful place on earth. There are many such places." He cautions people not to run to Moab once they've read the book: "This is not a travel guide but an elegy. A memorial. You're holding a tombstone in your hands."

I learned that first-hand from my parents and grandparents, who taught me the values of hard work, bringing people together to solve problems, and living out our faith by serving others. Those are lessons I took to heart when founding Hands On Atlanta and leading Points of Light, the world's largest organization dedicated to volunteer service. And it's this same spirit of service that -- with your help -- is going to power our campaign for U.S. Senate. Will you sign up to volunteer for our campaign today -- and help us reach our ambitious goal of signing up 2,500 volunteers over the next 10 days? Throug...
