First of all, I want to thank everyone who commented in my diary yesterday, and express my extreme gratitude f0r the care and concern everyone expressed. To those who messaged me privately, I can only say that you touched my heart. Again, thank you all.

As many of you may know, I have a 14 year old daughter who is gay. Last night, we committed her to the Adolescent Psychiatric Unit at UAB Hospital in Birmingham.

I was born into a military family. My father was at Fort Bragg on a training exercise when I was born and didn't even know of my existence until I was three days old.

I realize that Kos uses ads to raise revenue for the site, and I am truly grateful for that; however, I must say that in the past few days, some of the ads have made me wonder. In the past 24 hours, at the top of the home page, have been ads for Republican websites, Republican candidate's donation pages, and even an ad for the Republican Congressional Committee.

Old, but proud, I must say. On Saturday, May 8th, my oldest daughter graduated Cum Laude with her Bachelor's degree in psychology. She worked really hard for the past four years, and earned many honors for leadership, community-building and academic achievement in that period.

It was Nov.5 and the election was, we thought, over, with the exception of the votes cast in the Minnesota Senate race. No biggie, we thought...they'll do the recount and Minnesota will have two Senators by January. BOY! Were we ever wrong!

I'm sitting here watching MythBusters, when I am roused by an ad that supposedly "informs" the viewers about the new Healthcare bill. What they said was that the funding for the new programs would be done by taking away funds from Medicare.

Now that I have your attention, I have a conundrum to resolve. As some of you may know, I recently returned to college after a 20+ year "sabbatical". One of the courses I am required to take for my major is Public Speaking. So far, I have done fairly well; my professor uses my work as an example to the class of how she wants things done.

I was talking to my husband this evening about how pissed I am about all the gay marriage bans that have been passed recently. I was ranting to him, as I tend to do when I am passionate about something, when he looked at me and said, "So, what are you going to do about it? Sitting there bitching about it isn't going to change anything." I was thinking about that, and decided that I should "put my money where my mouth is" and put my passion for GLBT rights into practice.

My daughter called me today to let me know that she received her absentee ballot. She is so excited to be voting in her first ever Presidential election. It was an interesting phone call. Below the fold is what transpired in the call.

I have been very outspoken in my belief that the Obama campaign doesn't need to condense the message into soundbites, but today, I had an experience that changed my mind completely. I was having morning coffee at our local diner along with some of my friends. One of them I knew was virulently anti-Obama due simply to the fact that Obama has darker skin than she does. Another one is an EMT, who I have always considered to be an intelligent person. The third is my best friend, who has always been on the fence politically.
