Your Voice

I recently joined a political letter writing club.  It is a facinating group of women who all care deeply about the future of our town, state and country.  Even more impressive is that they understand the value of their voice and that if they do not use their voice and speak up in the process it will not be heard.  They get together once a month, much like a book club, and they discuss a relevent issue of the day.  The best part is after a healthy conversation, with often differing views, they put pen to papar and write letters to elected officials (even more clever is to have laptops on sight and write and send thoughts on the spot).

 I am hosting the next meeting of the group and the issue for the month will be clean vehicles and the idea of putting tax incentives in place to encourage people to drive more energy effiicient cars.  This is actually a timly issue because the Connecticut General Assembly is due to discuss this idea during thier session that begins next month.  I am interested to hear what a group of mothers turned community activist have to say abou the idea?
