An introduction

Today I found and shared a site, Maplight.org on my personal Facebook page pointed specifically to my Congressional representative's entry. This blog was inspired by the comments of a friend that just kept coming. It started out sounding somewhat like a cross between a tribute to Jeff Foxworthy and those annoying ads for new medications. The idea of becoming more active politically than posting on my elected officials' Facebook pages or liking the pages of causes and organizations I agree with has been coming up more often. So, I guess this is that first real step. I hope to post on things I find relevant to political discourse, both serious and humorous.
