Several Friday mornings ago, I was home taking care of stuff around the house, trying to beat down a lingering cough. While swigging coffee and folding laundry, I was watching FOX News, trying to get a handle on who on earth was going to be McCain's VP pick. So much was at stake. Who he picked had the power to doom the ticket. It also had the power to keep some of the momentum going McCain had really begun to bring by his outstanding showing at the Forum at Rick Warren's church.

When the rumblings started about Palin, I quickly hopped on the 'net to check it out. I checked out Drudge, Michelle Malkin and AOSH. These were locations I knew would give the skinny and it would be trustworthy. I needed to know - should I be alarmed? Or cautiously optimistic? NEVER in my wildest dreams did I expect to be THRILLED, and feel like I had watched the game winning touch down in the Super Bowl!

Throughout America, many of us are coming out of our comfort zones, and now voicing our political opinions in this election, where before we seemed to have had a bad dose of the mully-grubs. Mully-grubs, because we did not see an election process that we could get excited about. Invest in. Now we see the chance to not only put reform minded conservatives into the White House, but people who have actually taken difficult stances for what they believed in and WON. These are people we can get behind for the push to the White House and be proud of our efforts, and proud of their results when they get there.

This blog is my effort to share with my friends and family my passion for the election process & keep the focus on the critical issues of the day in the last bit of this election. I will daily list links to articles that will inform, encourage and keep the goal in view. I am not the type to have much to offer of my own. I'll just say it, I'm not that smart. But, like any good shopper, I can find the right product! So, to save you time, I will make sure you can come here and find links that will tell you what you need to know! Ok, there may be the occasional bubbling over post.

The atmosphere is akin the electrically charged, cold, autumn home football game crowd, with one minute to go on the 10 yard line. It's my hope to channel that electricity to ACTION.

What sort of ACTION? I'm glad you asked!

1. We need to be informed. I want to make that easy for you to do.
2. We need to be able to pick an issue or two that we feel strongly about and then...
3. Determine how to converse about why our candidates are the right choice because...(in our humble opinion, of course!)
4. We need to get over being afraid to discuss issues with friends, people at the store and the gas station. We have people skills, Ya'll. Use them. Is it more important that we cocoon opurselves politically, so as not to ever possibly offend someone? Or is it more important to not have any regrets that we each did our part to makes sure we don't, as a country, elect a man to office who doesn't even respect his electorate?

Game on!
