10 Actions in the First 100 Days

On The Women's March over the weekend got me amped up and excited to be a part of the change I want to see in the world.  Yesterday I ran across this website and thought it was brilliant!  Like I said in my post about the Women's March,  I haven't been really politically active in my life.  Lately, however, that has changed.  In 2008 I was in college and it exposed me to a lot of different viewpoints than what I had experienced before in my life.  My political affiliations began to change back then.  Michael and his roommates got basic channels on their tv, one of those channels was MSNBC.  It was basically all we watched during the 2008 election cycle.  It's no wonder I ended up becoming a Democrat.  To be fair, Sarah Palin was up for Vice President and she's about as whackadoo as they get, so it didn't instill much faith in the party I was already questioning.  Fast forward 4 years, I went to my favorite feminist's mom's house to watch the DNC.  Michelle, Nancy, Barry, Willy, Michael and I (plus a teeny tiny Avery) watched speeches and Obama accepting the nomination as the Democratic Party's nominee.  I'm ashamed to say I didn't vote in 2008, as I was away from home and never got my registration changed.  But in 2012 I voted in my first presidential election for Barack Obama.  I could not have been prouder!  I was so excited for Avery to be born during the era of such an upstanding president.  2 years later I voted after researching candidates for the first time in a local election.  Brownback still won.  I learned how to cope with political disappointment then.  In 2016, with the help of my sister and my husband, I got even more involved.  I donated to Bernie Sanders' campaign, went to his rally in Lawrence, and caucused for him during the primary.  I was disappointed when Hillary beat him for the party nomination.  I had been keeping an eye on the proceedings of the Republican party as well.  From what I'd seen in debates and knew of the character of each candidate, I liked Jeb Bush best.  I may have voted for him over Hillary, but I would never end up having to compare the two of them side by side.  His momentum never got going so I shifted to John Kasich,  hoping for a moderate (in my opinion, reasonable) Republican to be the party candidate, but it wasn't to be.  I can't believe they voted in Donald Trump.  I was even more shocked when he won the presidency, but what's done is done.  While he has a couple different impeachable conflicts of interest at the moment, nothing will likely happen under a Republican controlled house and senate.  So I will bide my time, keep praying for him, and hope that things will change in 2 years.  In the meantime, I'd like to make my voice heard (wow, that was a SUPER long intro to this website).  The movement that began during the Women's March is continuing by doing 10 different actions in the first 100 Days of Trump's presidency.  I am not sure I'll get all of them done, but I'm going to try!  And that starts with sending postcards to my senators.  I'm going to tell what I want and expect of them as my representatives.  Even if your views are different than mine, I encourage you to do the same.  How will they know how best to represent us if they don't know what we want or how we feel?  If you would also like to join me in doing 10 Actions in Trump's first 100 Days, feel free to go to
