Confession: I Really Love Voting.

Confession: I really, really, REALLY love voting. It’s a moment of power when we can imagine a better future for our children -- and then put our marks on a ballot to help make that better future happen. Voters make the future.

I've worn a lot of different hats for MomsRising -- fundraiser, blogger, donor communications. This fall, I put on a new one -- answering emails from our voter postcard volunteers. By all measures, the MomsRising voter postcard program SMASHED records for volunteers, the number of postcards pledged (and MAILED!), and donations.
