Our children are already going broke

I don't feel like I really need to say much about this photo. It sums it up well. Let's work hard this weekend and until November for our primary winners to take back this country for our children!

Take Action and Make a Difference

This little girl was shot in the head. Her entire family was executed by insurgents and she was left to die. She was recovering in a field hospital when this photo was taken. This airman was the only one who could comfort her and he got very little sleep, not leaving this chair for several nights.

I actually saw this picture on Facebook (thanks Kelly!) and it melted my heart. While we enjoy the freedoms that those in the military have provided us, we sit around and bicker over ridiculous politics. While it is very important that we fight for our beliefs and make sure our voices are heard here at home, I think we should also take some notes from pictures like these. What exactly are we doing to help others or to change the world or our country for the better? I'd like to suggest that if all you do is talk the talk, you should start walking the walk. Only real, strategic actions will change this country. Make a difference today by donating money or items to Military Missions, writing an encouraging note to send to a soldier in Iraq, making a donation to Right to Life, going door-to-door for your chosen primary candidate this weekend, feeding the homeless or spending time with a child, encouraging them and teaching them about all they have to be grateful for in this country.

Go out there and make a difference this weekend and mark your calendars next weekend so that you can walk door-to-door for your primary candidates. Take an active roll in who we put in office!

Till next time,
Ashley
