Lend A Hand

Hello, welcome to the intro post of Lend A Hand.

The purpose of this blog is to talk about the politics and issues that are really affecting the people living in America. As well as offer some information about how you can make a difference and get involved.

Who am I?

I am a basic, simple, honest to goodness “Average Jane”. I have no background in politics or economy. I don’t have a journalist degree or any special connections that make me privy to anything anyone else couldn’t discover.

So why listen to me?

Because I’ve been there. I’ve been poor and upper middle class and most places in between. I’ve been a single parent and part of a married couple. I’ve worked for other people and I’ve worked for myself. I’ve rented apartments and currently pay a mortgage on my own home. I’ve considered myself a Republican, a Democrat and nothing at all. I’ve thought of myself as a conservative, a liberal and somewhere in the middle.

Most importantly, I think I understand what is bothering people in America today. I see and feel their frustration and desperation. I know there are many people out there who feel lost and have just about given up. Many feel the government has stopped listening and that nothing can be done. This is not a new occurrence, it has happened before.

Many times in history, Americans have felt ignored, unrepresented and trod on. Either as a nation or as a member of a minority group, we have had to fight for nearly every right we have. We have come so far (and we have slipped back a bit) that it must be acknowledged that it can be done.

Along the side of this blog you will find links to pages outline what I consider my “Civic To-Do” list. Things, some simple and some involved, that every one living in America can and should do to improve the quality of our nation and citizenship.

What Can You Expect From This Blog?

Lend A Hand will be a running dialogue of the things going on in America; the unjust, the frightening, the encouraging, and the unbelievable. If it affects the middle, working or lower class, we will be talking about it in plain English and with common sense. Not only we will discuss but we will offer practical steps you can take to change things.
