Clearly her Spirit lives on in you! I just loved the quote you gave from her.
I was very 'active' for years - living in London, then Washington DC. I wrote Finding Your Public Voice: A Media Guidebook for Women for USIA for Hillary Clinton to distribute at the 1995 UN Women's Conference in Beijing. Strange to think that was before 'electronic media' - and now I live in a very small cabin in Chesterfield MA (not that far from Rowe!!!) and really loving a 'quiet life' but still 'active' locally. I am in AWE of how deeply I appreciate President Obama.
The email I sent is from John Stauber's group. It's free - and they are doing amazing work re: Health Care Reform. Please sign up if you're interested in following their work.
About the only 'blog' I follow faithfully is Al's - and read Narco News daily. Al really is amazing - I am always learning something. I really didn't know what happend to Chavez in 2002 - and read every link from that post. Amazing!
Thanks again for posting the quote from your Mom. I really love it!!!
I thought of you when I got this email from the Center for Media & Democracy.
John Stauber & Sheldon Rampton ( founders) are really impressive.
Cheers, Suzy Shure

Health Insurance Insider to Testify Before Senate
Former Executive Warns Congress: Don't Be Fooled by For-Profit Industry's Misleading Campaign
Washington, DC -- Wendell Potter, a former health insurance industry insider, will testify before the full Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday June 24, 2009 at 2:30 p.m. EST, exposing the health insurance industry's resistance to needed health care reform.
Mr. Potter spent more than 20 years as a public relations executive for two large health insurers -- CIGNA and Humana -- but left the industry after witnessing practices he felt harmed American health care consumers. To him, there was a heart-breaking discrepancy between Americans struggling to find affordable, comprehensive coverage and wealthy insurance executives who based their premium charges -- and coverage decisions -- on profits rather than people's health care needs. He has decided to come forward in the hopes of stopping the health insurance industry from once again derailing meaningful reform.
He will testify about how big, for-profit insurers have hijacked our health care system and turned it into a giant ATM for Wall Street investors and how the industry is using its massive wealth and influence to determine what is (and is not) included in the legislation currently before Congress.
WHO: Wendell Potter, Former Health Insurance Executive (CIGNA and Humana Inc.) and Senior Fellow on Health Care with the Center for Media and Democracy, exposing the industry and telling Congress, "Don't buy the hype."
WHAT: Hearing on "Consumer Choices and Transparency in the Health Insurance Industry," Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation
WHEN: Wednesday June 24, 2009 Hearing Start Time: 2:30 pm, Press Pre-Set Time: 1:45 pm
WHERE: Room 253, Russell Senate Office Building
