Don't fall victim to seeing the latest "major, national issue" as the only issue that matters in our country. Seek out information on the many challenges facing our nation. Issues like Wall Street reforms, economic recovery, housing and of course health care reform. Also, use multiple sources to inform you, including http://www.whitehouse.gov/. The site can educate you on what the Obama Administration is doing to meet these challenges. Don't just take what you read in the "press" as the definitive authority on issues. An informed Democrat is the best defense against the opposition false claims, misrepresentations and lies.
For an update on health care reform go to: http://www.whitehouse.gov/patients-rights

Religion and Politics: Strange Bedfellows
There are literally hundreds of print and electronic media outlets to consider when blogging. Democrats from all around Duval County regularly scan multiple media platforms and sources and share their findings in an effort to stay abreast of breaking news, trends, movements, accusations, half-truths, misrepresentations and from time to time out-right lies. Our goal is to increase awareness and encourage appropriate action through shining the spotlight of public awareness on any and all of the above goings-on. Here's an interesting article by B.E. Wilson from Alternet.org that sounds the alarm for caution on religious personalities and their growing influence in conservative politics, their Party leadership, elected officials and candidates seeking office. More of his writings and others can be viewed at www.alternet.org
