As a member of The Silent Generation, I know that times change and people act and react to their own times. In the 1970's I was involved in the feminist movement and was HIGHLY motivated by the abortion issue. Fifty years later, it remains an issue, and again I am hopeful that those who realize the importance of their vote will get to the booth and VOTE BLUE!
Hi, Deda, I am reminded about when we were relocated to Slidell, LA in 1973-74 finding ourselves in an environment that was not acceptable. That is when you, I, and many other young mothers galvanized to make the change we thought was necessary for us to raise our children in that location. We moved governments by diligent, relentless work. We did not protest but quietly attended council and committee meetings absorbing information. Then we acted by pointing out corruption in the government and demanding change. Ultimately, every governing body that we were part of changed - city council, parish government, school board, and even the library board. We were powerful women!

Thanks, Deda! I'm going to forward this inspiring message to my precinct!
