First Post

Okay, I've finally done it. I set up a Blog.

At this point I'm not sure how often I'll be posting, but the state of the world and the state of democracy in the US have got me to the point where I'm convinced that those of us with something to say in contrast or counterpoint to the staus quo, need to be saying it, and saying it to as many people as possible.

I've been doing my bit.

It started after 9/11 when I began voraciously researching topics on-line, and delving into the wider, largely unaddressed context of our times. At this point, I had feelings, but no words, or at least not words I was ready to share widely.

Thanks to Howard Dean, and the interactions and involvement that came my way through Indianapolis for Dean and Indianapolise for Democracy, I've found my voice.

And perhaps more importantly, I've committed myself to speak and to act. Now is not a time for silence.

My actions are channeled through Indy for Democracy and Little Eagle Creek Christian Church.

This blog is my place for speaking -- not that I am silent elsewhere, but this place offers a wider scope in both space and time.  -- Sandy Hawk
