The Power of One Voice
Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice, I can help th
e greatest of all causes—goodwill among men and peace on earth.

A lead entry on BlogHer caught my eye this morning: The President has made the momentous (and I think incredibly clever) decision to reach out to the American public via the BlogHer nation rather than the mainstream press. His cause is healthcare reform—not an unimportant topic—but it’s his choice of vehicles that interests me most.
In her blog entry, Lisa Stone writes that Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor to the President Obama, met with 20 BlogHers to help “give the grassroots a voice.” Lisa writes that the meeting “was a remarkable experience, and the room was electric with hope.” Wow. As I sit here nourishing my yin and elevating my yang with my daily chai as I write to you, I can’t help but feel incredible plugged in.
It’s official Momocrats (thanks Stephanie Pomponi Butler) and fellow MomBloggers: We have a powerful voice and people are paying attention, even in the White House. So what would you like to share today? What matters to you? Tell all your friends here at OregonChaiCafe. We’re listening!
