Merry Christmas
One thing that is pretty cool about subscribing and encouraging others to subscribe and partake in the political processes through conservative and pro-life blogs and news organizations is that you are supporting the message of Christmas. LifeNews.com, LifeSiteNews.com, JillStanek.com, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, The Heritage Foundation etc. etc. etc. all sent out to everyone of their subscribers Christmas reminders. I don't know how many Christmas reminders I got this year after partaking in the various petitions in the political processes and subscribing to various email updates. So when you pass a petition along sometimes you are passing more than that.
