Spend some time in the Blogswarm

Blue Gal‘s Blogswarm against Theocracy proved a spectacular success, but it’s not over yet. Today’s the last day to participate. You, too, can speak out against the theocrats — just like these folks did (damn, that’s a long list!):

Instructions from Blue Gal (but read the rest of the post, okay?) . . .

There are no real guidelines to this. The idea is to post at least once from Friday to Sunday Easter Weekend, April 6-8.

The post will be against theocracy, in favor of our Constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state. But there are a LOT of issues tied to this, as is pointed out in the First Freedom First website:

No religious discrimination.
PRO End-of-Life Care (no more Terri Schiavo travesties)
Reproductive health decisions made by individuals, not religious “majorities”
Democracy not Theocracy
Academic Integrity (like, a rock is as old as it is, not as old as the Bible says)
Sound Science (good bye so-called “intelligent” design)
Respect for ALL families (based on love, not sexual orientation. Hellooooo.)
And finally,
The right to worship, OR NOT.

So take your pick and write your post(s). Really, the wider variety of topics makes it all the more interesting.When you’ve posted, email the url of your post to bluegalsblog AT gmail DOT com. I’ll be posting links as quickly as I can that weekend.

And take pity on the poor gel. Her HTML-coding finger must be falling off right now.

    just about. But it’s a good pain. And hey, Thomas Jefferson stopped by my place to say hi.
