Matt Hoffman is a father of two, husband, avid volunteer, and incredible voice for choice in the SRVUSD.

So you better load up a little more

We can't change the standard for judgement whenever it best suits us, or we'll forever be all good or all evil.

Without the belief in the possibility of a chance, we're lost.
