The Constitution

Kids, This week a bill was brought before the Senate to make the first stab at changing the Constitution of this country. Fear driven hate mongers want to make this country a place of discrimination for one segment of our population; Same sex couples. Even though there is reams of medical documentation to support the fact that people are born the way they are. The Fear driven hate mongers dressed as the religious clothing are trying to change the greatest laws of our land to support their ideas of hate, discrimination and separation. Fear not my children for I will always be with you. I will always be your mother and as long as I have breath in my body I will do all in my power to raise you up to be strong, independent, free thinking people. Follow your hearts, fight for what is right and just. This is but the start of a long battle for equal rights for ALL of this countries citizens and not just the privileged few. May I do a good job at raising you all to always choose to stand up for what is right. I love you all, Mama

Election Day

Kids,

I went and did my American duty today and voted. I was part of the great machine that helps keep American running. At least I try to look at it that way. There are days like today that make me question my belief in the system.

I did not like any of the choices I was given. Today I feel like the whole idea of choice is only designed to pacify the masses into thinking they can choose.

ON THE OTHER HAND... The turn out for elections is always slight and unless an issue that stirs the voters out of fear to vote then very few get off the couch and do express themselves. SO... If more people voted on a regular basis then maybe more choices will be available for all of us.

I did vote against a proposition that I did not like (82) and I voted for one I did (81), neither one is likely to pass.

I am so unhappy with the government these days. I dislike who is in the white house, I dislike the path of many of the leaders of the states and even the few politicians I did like and thought would do GREAT things for all of us as a country have now turned tail and are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

I hope to raise you all to vote with your head and with your heart. THINK for yourself and make the best choice for you even if it is not the popular choice.

What is popular is not always right and what is right is not often the easy choice.

I love you all,

Mama
