The greatest gift a father can receive

June 19, 2008
Happy Father's Day! What is the greatest gift a father can receive? Mothers! Both their own mom and the mother of their children! Then there is mother Earth. MomsRising, for me, is about taking care of all mothers, not just our own, but all moms in all countries, and our planet as well.

Moms and Kids Urge CA Legislators to Get Back on Track!

June 18, 2008
It was an amazing experience to deliver MomsRising.org member messages along with compasses telling legislators to get back on track to covering all kids! Our fabulous group of moms and kids reminded me again of the power of personal stories. One of the Assembly’s health policy experts was even moved to tears by the personal story of one of the moms delivering the Compass-o-Grams.

Triumph at the Capitol!

June 17, 2008
We triumphed with the resume deliveries to Senator McCain today! There were FOUR tv cameras! CBS, CNN, WTTG (local Fox news) and Telemundo. Plus a wire service and I think an AP camera (it was a little crazy). And the AFL-CIO is going to post on their blog and include a photo.

Some Reasons To Believe In Dads (again)

June 12, 2008
I know there are many moms reading this who have had a bad experience with dads and with men in general. Frankly, it troubles me as well to hear about some of the dads out there and I can completely understand the anger. It can be well deserved.
