Janet Napolitano, former Secretary of Homeland Security under President Obama, was asked recently about the one thing we Americans should worry about. Instead she responded with 3 things. 1. Cyber Security. 2. The Climate 3. Gun Violence. Not surprisingly she didn’t mention immigrants or the border. But gun violence- a national crisis in her eyes- and ours. So let’s push on!
Coming soon – our extensive speaking schedule and the 2018 Annual Report.
