Follow Friday Blogs, August, 24 2012

This week's selections for Follow Friday Blogs all share two key elements: they voice strong opinions and beliefs, and they remain very civil. It's actually a bit scary to realize how difficult it can sometimes be to find both those qualities in a single blog...
First up is Honor in Office, an organization founded by Jerrol LeBaron. The organization's goal, according to their subhead is "Putting integrity and honor back into politics." The organization wants us to hold our elected leaders accountable... even for things as numbingly obvious as creating legislation that everyone actually reads before voting on!
My next selection is the Belief Blog over at CNN, which came to my attention through the Akin brouhaha (which I've written about here). This is one of the few places I've found where you can find every opinion from every viewpoint--and it's always professional presented. A good one-stop source for all things faithful.
My third site is Spark Sense, from Annabel Park, co-founder of the Coffee Party. Annabel is most interested in preserving our democracy, and she focuses her work on what you and I can do (as opposed to, say Sheldon Adelsen and George Soros) to preserve and encourage true democracy. Her insights are always worth reading.
That's it: see you next week... or maybe after Labor Day......
