Why I Stamp:

I believe that most Americans, despite many efforts to educate us, remain uninformed of governmental processes, oversteps and corruption. Stamping a concerning issue on something that is handled everyday by all Americans may spark an inquiry, or a conversation that may lead to more informed Americans becoming educated activists and, hopefully, positive changes will occur.  At this moment I am very much afraid for our democracy and want to do what I can to preserve it.

Hobbies:

Recently, I worked hard through the summer and fall, to the exclusion of other interests , to get out the vote through the summer and fall and worked as a precinct official on November 6.  I’ve turned into a sort of political junkie or SJW, as my grandson calls me. I volunteer at a local charity called The Green Chair Project, meet weekly with several likeminded women of a certain age and take Spanish and Pilates lessons.

What Makes Me Happy:

I tear up with joy when I see or hear about humans showing compassion for each other and acting on it. I especially value what the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center do.

General Comments:

I would like to see a kinder, more caring, compassionate, civil, honest, inclusive, law-abiding, fair America that is respectful of science and the environment before I die. At this point I am not feeling optimistic.
