We're back. This time, it's for good. We're hungry for a resource that is holistic, relevant, up-to-date and that will continue to stimulate not only our social selves, but our intellectual, financial, spiritual and civic responsible selves. We know you are too. Our commitment to you is to consistently attempt to quench a portion of hunger—one story, one picture, one feature, one tidbit of information at a time.

We deem this issue, Summer Stimulus Kickoff. Much has been and is to be said about how badly we as a people and we as a community need positive stimulation. Our economy is shot and everyday so are too many of our people. Our education systems are failing to prepare our students to compete in the global workplace. And even those who are "equipped" have no jobs to go to and no credit availability to create their own businesses. Job security is an oxy moron and almost as dismal as the inevitable state of social security. Our families, however family is defined, are falling apart. Our government is divided to the point of almost self destruction. Things seem a bit rocky right now.

However, in our collective voice and fervent desire to birth change and mobility for our community toward all that is better and greater, we hear and experience limitless possibilities and endless hope. StayOnTheGo wants to give that voice and that desire an avenue to and from you, to and from our community and to and from the world. We hope that you find something that will stimulate you in some way to keep moving forward.

No matter what, keep GOing.
