The water main break and the ensuing water crisis that struck our community this weekend are continuing to seriously impact our friends, neighbors, schools, and family members. This severe disruption to local infrastructure and quality of life has our full attention.

We understand the frustration expressed in the phone calls and emails our offices have received from those affected by the water outage. Your delegates recognize that this is a substantial hardship for families.
 

President Obama today announced the charities that will receive a portion of the $1.4 million award that comes with the Nobel peace prize.

“These organizations do extraordinary work in the United States and abroad helping students, veterans and countless others in need,” said President Obama. “I’m proud to support their work.”

Do you know an African American single mother who is hard working, creative, and dedicated to improving the life of her son? This award will honor three exceptional African American single mothers who are raising a son.

The award is designed to celebrate outstanding courage and determination to raise a healthy and productive African American male. Often the media demonizes single mothers and lessons the importance of mothers raising children.

To nominate an Exceptional Mom please complete the application below and send back to us. The deadline for submission is April 20th, 2010. Winners will receive a special plaque and an autographed copy of the new book Raising Him Alone. Winners will be announced on May 1, 2010.
