“Come on, y’all, let’s dig in and start being better instead if bitter.”

I needed this admonition from Zo. I have felt lost, discouraged, disgusted with my fellow citizens at what they have allowed to happen for decades, all which has led to what they are about to do this November. I have felt helpless and hopeless, my attempt to be a voice has been crying in the wilderness, ignored. I felt ready to give up, and ashamed of that.

But these words from Zo reminded me: I am not able to change the minds and hearts; God is. I need to stop listening to my helpless hopeless self and ask Him to work through me to have His will accomplished. My focus has been in the wrong direction: look up. Seek Him.

California PolitiChick Maureen Mullins was born in March 1963 and if ever asked the proverbial 'Where were you when JFK was shot? she may confidently reply, 'In my playpen.' Her first true recollection of politics was when the usual after school re-runs of Gilligan's Island and Hogan's Heroes were being pre-empted by the Watergate hearings. This carried through to her discovery of CSPAN, when in doing research for an essay on Abscam for her high school government class, she heard Newt Gingrich giving Special Orders speeches on the subject from the well of the House of Representatives. Her first foray into political activity was to volunteer for the Reagan For President campaign in 1980, as she was only 17 that November and would not be able to cast a vote for him until 1984. She has subsequently done volunteer work on various House and presidential campaigns throughout the years. A dedicated Constitutionalist, one of Maureen's greatest honors was to be a charter member of Hillary Clinton's Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy and continues to this day to help the people of this country recognize and remember the value of true liberty.
