Mike bloomberg has spent his life getting things done.

Sta, creating 20,000 good paying jobs.

That's getting it done.

As mayor, he rebuilt a shaken city after 9/11, created over 450,000 jobs.

Expanded healthcare to 700,000 and raised teacher pay.

Elece he got things done.

Mike bg gun laws.

He beat big coal, closing over 300 dirty coal fired plants.

Mike is still getting things done.

So ask yourself.

For president, do you want a debater or a doer?

Someone with workable, common sense plans to fix healthcare and create jobs, who's done both.

Mike has the record and resources to beat trump.

And it will take both.

But mike will get it done.

Bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

- - nats book page turning- nats elaine reading: "just a ba- day.

I wanted a bowl of sugar - crispies.

- - - - nats- elaine on cam: "but i had to- have oatmeal instead" - nats of train - elaine: "they say reading opens- up different areas of your brai- that you don't- get in any other activity."

- katherine sutton: "you go to a- different world."

- and that's just what happened - for eileen whittemore..

- eileen: "if we can get people's- brain's working, i think that's- a good thing."- she'll be the first to show you- how a good read can affect- the brain...eileen is actively- involved in numerous- activities in the community, as- well as in her church, the- nourishing place.

- nats- her latest project... - train nats- is on the right track to making- a difference in the lives of- children here on the coast.

- brenda boothe, the nourishing - place: "these children did not- own books at home.- we also found out that children- not reading at a third grade- reading level by the third- grade are more than likely goin- - - - to drop out of school."

So- eileen had the idea to create - little lending libraries...and- got the green light to move - forward.- jane stanley, nourishing place- pastor: "it's a team effort to- make sure - these kids have access to books- they want to read and can keep.- they can take a - book, they can bring it back an- get another one, or they can- keep them."

- what started out as an after- - - - school tutoring program, quickl- grew out of bounds.

- but not without a little- inspiration from eileen's late- - - - husband.- eileen: "he was interested in - kids and reading."- brenda: "when earl's birthday - came around, she asked people t- bring children's books, - and we started distributing - those."

- now children can find these - little lending libraries at 5 - - - - coastal schools, three churches- ruth's garden, and the gulf - coast railroad museum.- katherine: "it's geared towards- everybody, all the demographics- here, and what a great- place to put a free library tha- inside a free musem.

The kids - love it, they come, - - - - some of them read out here."- brenda: when earl passed away,- eileen thought about not- continuing.

But we- said no.

It means too much to - everyone in the community and t- the children."- as simple words on a page, carr- them to other destinations... - all with the hope of knowing- - - - they too can write their own- stories.- jane: "the whole idea is to hel- children enjoy learning.

It - gives them confidence.

It - makes them excited about life.- we're located in a low income - area of - gulfport on purpose.

We need to- be there as an inspiration to - families; single moms,- - - - over the years, they've - collected thousands of- books and now have 10 little- lending libraries across- gulfport- and long beach.

- lee not only a point guard... - but also playing center field,- on- defense... and just like that - she's taking it back the other- way... how you want it... lee - playing out of her mind, in the- second half.- 21-14 moss point, here in the - third... and after a 31-point - masterpiece, from queen lee...- the tigers win... 43-28.- - - - - - - - - four more coast teams ready to- tip things off, tomorrow... wit- gulfport-biloxi serving as the- head-liner, at 8-30.- harrison central boys and girls- will preceed what's - sure to be an instant classic..- at 7 and 5-30... respectively.- all games to be played... at th- coliseum.
