How Cristina Page Saved America

June 11th, 2008 · No Comments

I seriously love Cristina Page. She’s a consultant for major pro-choice groups, she’s the author of two books, including How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America (now you get the title of this post), and she’s a really great mentor for young women.
Cristina has a fantastic post up at the Huffington Post today called “Obama: […]

Big Love

April 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have been fascinated by the Fundamentalist LDS for quite a while. I watch “Big Love” via Netflix like its my job. Yesterday, law enforcement officers moved a large group of members from The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints in Eldorado, Texas. 220 women and children were escorted off of the […]

Happy Birthday Roe

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Just a quick note to say Happy Birthday to Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that gave women in America the right to choose. I wholeheartedly believe in reproductive justice and I am thankful that I live in a time where I have the autonomy to make personal decisions about my body. Even though we […]

Whata Happened To All Men Are Created Equal?

January 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I still don’t know who I would wish to be the president, but one thing makes me seriously disrespect so many of the candidates especially Edwards and Obama. They have both said such horrible and disgusting things about Hilary, and I don’t see the point. For every candidate who believes in change, who loves this […]

Benazier Bhutto’s tragic tragic death

December 28th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Just to shortly add to Hollis’s post….
I have read a little bit about Benazir Bhutto, but the main thing I remember reading was about her relationship with Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf. I read how they hated one another and had completely different views. I know that she risked her life every single day to be […]

D.A.R.E. wasn’t enough

December 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Drugs. I’ve never tried them, never been tempted to experiment… but that’s more than I can say for my younger brother. He’s 15 years old and likes to smoke pot, he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Out of all the drugs, it is probably the least bad, but it still worries me. Last night […]

Mentors in Violence Prevention

November 9th, 2007 · No Comments

Last weekend I attended the 2-day MVP program. It was absolutely… I don’t even know. Condemned for being too talkative, I, am at a loss of words. Although I can’t describe it, I knew what I was getting myself into. Last year, when the sessions began at SU, I wrote an article about it. I […]

Really amazing site

November 7th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I just found this really amazing site where you answer a set of questions, and they tell you which candidate you should vote for. (Based on which candidates you got the most similar answers too. REALLY COOL!

John Edwards reaches out and embraces US!

September 27th, 2007 · No Comments

So I just turned on my tv, and it went straight to MTV where I saw that Sen. John Edwards was on it. He is doing a live myspace telecast, it’s set up kind of like TRL in that he is surrounded by young people, but it’s political and PROGRESSIVE! There is a good sized […]
