Rock the Night for Obama with GASP

Ilinap · October 15, 2012 ·

Four years ago a group of girlfriends put their heads, hearts, and rolodexes together to get the gears in motion to elect Barack Obama to the White House. They were wildly successful (and perhaps mildly wild too). These women dubbed themselves GASP (Girlfriends Appalled By Sarah … [Read more...] about Rock the Night for Obama with GASP

Wake County Voters Guide

Ilinap · October 11, 2012 ·

The election is right around the corner. I really need this election to be over. It's exhausting for everyone. The calling, the writing, the door knocking, the stumping, the debating, the trolling, the tweeting, the hyperventilating.

Ilinap · January 30, 2012 ·

Wake County Election Day

I haven't much time but I wanted to wedge in one last word about today's election. It's raining, and I'm off to work my polling place for a few hours.

Schools Benefit Us All – So VOTE

Ilinap · October 10, 2011 ·

There was a time before I had children that I paid no attention to schools and school issues. I didn't see the relevance to my own life. I figured schools only mattered to the students and the parents, and sadly, I paid little attention to teachers back then. I took teachers for … [Read more...] about Schools Benefit Us All – So VOTE
