Today on The Lisa D Show at noon we'll interview Ruben Sandoval from Vista Quality Market and a representative from Homegrown El Paso. We'll discuss the power of keeping your dollar local.
Next we'll move to several other topics near and dear to my heart: bigots and shopping!
The Culture War is On, Get your Butt to City Hall!
A Message from Pastor Tom Brown
The City Council is at it again. Now they are trying to amend the Traditional Family ordinance so that current unmarried partners continue to receive their health benefits. They are showing disrespect to the voters who clearly said at election time that they do not want a dime spent endorsing unmarried relationships. Come out to City Hall on Tuesday at 9 am to let your voice be heard.
