Family and Friends
I suspect that most of you do not have C-SPAN blaring from your TV all day long.
Thus, you did not see Ellen Miller, Co-Founder & Executive Director of The Sunlight Foundation last week explaining what she and the Sunlight Foundation are doing each day in Washington.
While transparency etiquette requires that I reveal that Ms Miller is my wife, I nonetheless think it may be worth your while to look at the YouTube video below.
In one place, with more time than the usual 30 second sound bites allow, Ellen explains what Sunlight Foundation is doing and gives you some insight into how the power of the Internet is changing politics.
But don’t be totally fooled. She has also recently become a grand mother (‘Nonna’) and today she took 
an entire morning off to take grand son Eli to the playground.
Anyway, if you want to know more about how she’s trying to change the way folks do things in Washington, click on the site below. The program is C-SPAN’s ‘The Communicators’ and is an half hour in length.
If you make it all the way through, you’ll never have to ask Ellen again exactly what she’s doing with her new organization.
It’s exciting, if I do say so myself.
(PS-If you ask her, I’m sure she’ll be glad to send you her videos of Eli in the swing and/or crawling in the kitchen.)
(PPS-And if you haven’t had the pleasure of following Eli’s monthly growth, check out here. Eli’s Grand Papa, c’est moi, writes about him all the time and posts pictures monthly).
