While I'm not going to be a part of taking blog voices out on the road, I do support the idea of reaching out to those who don't normally read blogs. It's one of the reasons why I enjoy the weekly column I do for the Toledo Free Press so much as I think those of us who blog should help/encourage more people to blog even if they are not going to be political bloggers. As you so eloquently pointed out, this is about much more than just the war in Iraq. This is about the future direction of our nation. I agree with Tim as to what an excellent post this is.

Good post, madame. Your writing is rolling along the same way your public speaking does--it's good that you're letting it rip. I celebrate the freedom to hang out with you today, and not to wear socks. It's also important that you pointed out that blogging is just one of the things we do to ensure our freedoms--it's adding a dimension to what we already had, and empowering people to speak out who might not have done so in the absence of the connectivity of the internet. We can now be one voice. Taking our blog voices on the road to the larger non-blog-reading community is the next step, for all of us. I guess it's time to get back to Toastmasters and to Dale Carnegie for a brushup. Public speaking is yet another revival of that early 1900s excitement we had in this country listening to the likes of James Michael Curley and Honey Boy Fitzgerald. It's time to start duking it out in public. Our day has arrived. Wow. Good post, madame. Your writing is rolling along the same way your public speaking does–it’s good that you’re letting it rip.
