So much has happened since our last newsletter, we almost don’t know where to begin. How ‘bout those elections? No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you gotta admit it was all very exciting. Here in Washington D.C., we’re gearing up for the millions of people coming to town for inauguration. No, you can’t sleep in our office. Check out what we’ve been up to lately, and what’s on the horizon.
