Conservative Women Will be Game Changers In 2012

I am with Dana Perino. Conservative woman are rising up in droves and making a huge statement: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I loved reading about her recent Liberty Lunch experience. To read more, go to Conservative Women 2012.

It doesn't matter whether it's the economy, homeland security, environmental issues, education. You name it, it's falling apart. Since the inception of the Dept of Education during the Carter Administration, our education results across the board for students K-12 have plummeted. Just today we heard of another security threat, a Marine who happens to be a Muslim entering the Pentagon with alleged explosive in his backpack. And this, not long after the Fort Hood incident. But, we can't profile. Oh no, that would be blasphemy. What are we? Stupid!? This elephant is starting to think so.

Thank God for women such as those who recently attended the Liberty Lunch that Dana Perino was lucky enough to speak at. I wish I could have been there but Salt Lake City isn't exactly a stone’s throw from Lincoln, Nebraska. The Liberty Lunch women and the like-minded are the future of America. Like Perino said, their efforts have created a group of savvy, politically active citizens who aren’t afraid to throw their collective voices into the fray. Just what this country needs right now. 

I hope one day to earn the right to say I am somewhat similar to these savvy conservative women. Who knows, maybe I will attend a Liberty Lunch in the Salt Lake City area in the near future (with Dana Perino at the podium too I hope).

This group has covered cap-and-trade, Afghanistan, Homeland Security, and the economy in an environment that discourages political bickering or attacking, encouraging respectful discussion. Right on! They recently started a book club exploring both liberal and conservative perspectives, and are planning a study of the Constitution this summer.

It's time to stop the bickering, back-stabbing and back room deals locally, statewide and nationally. It's time to march forward with conviction but also with the ability to discuss respectfully with opponents to achieve resolve to the biggest problems we face today so that our children can experience an America that fosters the "American Dream" and a life time of hope and prosperity.

One last shout out to Congressman Weiner: you did the right thing! Now go get lots and lots of help!
