Continue the RNC Rule Changes Fight - Stop the #RNCPowerGrab

Posted by Whitney on August 28, 2012 at 9:20 AM Comments comments (1)

Contrary to widely reported news, a successful compromise has NOT been reached on the RNC Rules Changes fight. I have pasted the most relevant recent updates from delegates and Rules Committee Members at the end of this post.


The RNC attempted another round of trickery by floating, to the media before the delegates, a "compromise" eliminating rule 15/16 but NOT rule 12 which STILL gives them the power to change rules between conventions - thus, providing an opening to go bac...

Women have their finger on the pulse of their families and communities. They know where the REAL action happens (and it isn't in Washington).  Limiting the power of government and returning control where it belongs is a fundamental belief that most women I talk to hold dear. 


So why are so many women easily ma...

Accountability, Akin, & the Conservative Conundrum

Posted by Whitney on August 20, 2012 at 8:30 PM Comments comments (3)

"When accountability is inconsistent in application, it becomes nothing more than thinly-veiled blame gaming."


To preface this post, I want to make perfectly clear my severe dislike of the topic.  Every tap of my fingers on the keyboard elicits increased anger aimed at multiple individuals. While I have firm beliefs in social issues, I do NOT believe they belong in the hands of my government, pro or con. They belong in my hands, my family, and in my ...
