I also thought this would work if I did not start out with a blank 
dictionary;
def get_todo():
     key = raw_input('Enter Todo Title: ')
     print '\n', key, 'has been added.'
     print 'Next, enter date for Todo: '
     curr_date = time.strftime('%Y %m %d', time.gmtime())
     print 'Format as ', curr_date
     yr = int(raw_input('\nEnter Year: '))
     mt = int(raw_input('Enter Month: '))
     dy = int(raw_input('Enter Day: '))
     hr = int(raw_input('Enter Hour (24h): '))
     mn = int(raw_input('Enter Minute (01-59): '))
     value = [yr, mt, dy, hr, mn]
     todo = {key:value}
     todo[key] = value
     print todo
     response = raw_input('Do you want to add another Todo? (y/n) ')
     if response == 'y':
         get_todo()
     else:
         print 'Goodbye'

get_todo()

same result
