I've just spent the last few months spending every extra moment (and even those unextra moments) on the past election. Until a few weeks ago, I kicked around the thought of starting an organization to educate women about politics. I knew I wanted to reach out to women to empower them and felt this was the surest bet. Now, after 6 weeks of Insight classes, I'm not so sure.

After spending the last week in Florida - in a part where many believe to be part of the bible belt - ok, people actually ended their sentances with "go with g-d" - I now see that what ails this country is deeper then just politics. Is DOing the answer to the suppression I saw in many of the faces of the women I encountered?
