Mama Joins the MOB
This a special post to my Mama friends out there. I wanted to let you know that I've joined with Mothers Opposing Bush (MOB) and begun to work on starting a Portland, Oregon Chapter. If any of my fellow Portland mamas are out there, please go to the website and join up. Then email me and let me know - I'm going to work on organizing an event here in the near future.
If you're a mama of any type, please join MOB and look for a gathering in your own town. And then get every one of your friends to sign up. Like I'm telling all my Mama friends: this election is about no less than the soul of America. It's time for the Mamas to take a stand.
