Dear Readers,
So, here we are, the day after the Senate failed to pass a jobs bill, to help the millions and millions of unemployed Americans.
So, I share with you (see above link) my June 2010 column for Today's Chicago Woman because, at the end of the column, you'll find a list of my faves for guidance for taking action. They are the: YWCA, Women Employed, and Women's Business Development Center.
Let's tell those Senators what we think!
Best wishes.
Rebecca

Dear Readers,
Here is the link to my featured piece in today's Chicago edition of the Huffington Post.
Among other places, the piece also appears on OnEarth, the wonderful NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) web site, the WTTW Chicago Tonight website, Buzzflash, the USA Today subject page re the Great Depression (keep reading at the link, and you'll see why), and, of all places, on the Madison Square Garden website, which, lately, has been picking-up my work. (Maybe I can get a ticket the next time Beyonce plays there:).
Seriously, this isn't funny, but laughing to keep from crying is part of the "mo" right now.
As I've advocated before, do feel free, if you haven't yet, or, if you have, to express your views, get involved, and other wise help out. It's that important, as the President reminded us yesterday and today.
Best wishes.
Rebecca

Dear Readers,
So, go to the above link, posted by one of my favorite places, the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers, for some great current and historical info re upcoming woman-to-woman races, e.g., Carly Fiorina and Barbara Boxer in California.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I hope you'll take a look at this piece in today's Huffington Post: The Gulf: Between Perception and Reality.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rebecca-sive/the-gulf-between-perception_b_594825.html
Then, if you're so inclined, take action (NOW):
--Write the President, or your Member of Congress, or your U.S Senator, or whoever (else) you think can make a difference.
--Or, join in one of the environmental organization advocacy efforts. I'm partial to: the Natural Resources Defense Council, http://www.nrdc.org/ and to the Gulf Restoration Network, http://www.healthygulf.org/.
--And/or post this article, and any others you think pertinent, to Facebook, or to Twitter, or otherwise share, by way of encouraging people's awareness of this tragedy and the need to speak-up, and take action.
Thanks,
Rebecca
