About me
I’m a sixty-two year old Texan with a BA from the University of Houston in Political Science and an unofficial one in English. I’m a writer currently working on two books – the fictionalized memoir of an Apache man I once knew called The Last Indian Raid and a nonfiction book called Everyday Ethics. Sometimes I write poetry.
My involvement in local Democratic Politics currently includes, Democratic Precinct Chairwoman for Precinct 750 in Webster. This job includes me in the Harris County Democratic Party Executive Committee. I am Treasurer of the Senate District 11 Democrats and also Treasurer of the Blue Star Democrats of SD11 PAC. I am a member and Corresponding Secretary for the Harris County Chapter of Texas Democratic Women.
My biggest push right now is organizing and pushing forward with a new organization called Take Our Children to Vote, Inc. This organization is being set up as a non-profit organization whose mission is to start a tradition of everone taking their children or someone eles’s to vote with them. What an American tradition it would be and would increase the number of good citizens in our nation. My parents took me and I took my children. We all vote and we all care about where our country is headed. Join us in this tradition. If you want your children to be good citizens, then take them to vote with you. Please. Our website is coming soon to www.takeourchildrentovote.org
I am a member of the www.TexasFreedomNetwork.org
I am the mother of two daughters, Elektra Rose of New Jersey (across the river from NYC,) and Lauren Rose of Austin.
Additional interests of mine include Reading, Gardening, Photography, my family and my friends, not in that order.
I believe it is the duty of all humans to teach themselves everything they can about all the subjects in which they are interested.
You can teach yourself anything if you want. The first thing I studied on my own were the writings of Ayn Rand while I was in College. The next thing I taught myself was everything required on the Written Test for a Pilots License. I passed the first time with an 87. No teacher required. I am proud of that. I have a pilots license but haven’t flown in a long while. Soon I will have to get it up to date, if I ever want to complete my ex-husbands wish that I and our daughters fly his ashes out over Galveston Bay and drop them from a plane.
Self-teaching is a wonderful thing and I hope never to quit doing this on all the subjects that interest me. If one can read and write one can know anything one wishes. Of course I try never to forget that there is way too much to know for one small brain. So, I stand to be corrected anytime. My old memory does fail me.
