Strang Report

A couple of months ago there was a huge demonstration in downtown Orlando, called a “tea party.” It received very little press, even though thousands of people attended. I wouldn’t have known about it except that a couple of my family members inadvertently found themselves downtown, and were able to interact with a number of the attendees.

“I was pleased to hear that Tony Dungy, former coach of the Indianapolis Colts, has been asked to serve on the President’s Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. I may not be a sports buff, but I’ve always been a fan of men of character. Tony Dungy has been that for me and for countless Americans who admire him – not just for his victories on the field but in life. He has used his celebrity platform to promote adoption, prison ministry, family values, outreach to the poor, and simple Christian decency.
