Making a Difference

September 10, 2008

It certainly appears that people are heating up over the political situation. One would think that Sarah Palin was the Republican candidate for President of the United States rather than Senator John McCain. My inbox fills daily with emails expressing concern over the latest discovery about Governor Palin, her comings and goings and the most recent speculation regarding the Republican’s chances of winning the election in November. Fear and anxiety are running rampant through my social network.

The good news is that people are taking action. Just as I began writing my blog – a wonderful therapeutic tool – others have done the same thing. Check out the following, if you haven’t already received the links in your inboxes:

http://womenagainstsarahpalin.blogspot.com/ - a fantastic blog where you can read the outrageous responses of thousands of women to Sarah Palin’s nomination.

http://womenagainstsarahpalin.org/ - A website/blog that is trying to give factual information about Sarah Palin as well as a place for readers to discuss their feelings.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/NO-Sarah-Palin - a petition you can sign to send to Senator McCain telling him why you think that Sarah Palin is the wrong choice for his Vice President.

And please don’t forget to tell your family and friends about my blog, http://throwbackthebone.blogspot.com/, where you and they can also comment about the news of the day and also find articles of interest and ways to get active in the election. As John F. Kennedy said, “One person can make a difference and every person should try.”

I’m trying in my own way. I would love to hear about your ideas.
