So many Americans celebrate Labor Day. But why? Forget myths. Learn how and why the holiday came to be.
And perhaps share this with your family, friends, and co-workers.
This Father's Day, I wish to thank all of the men who are biological fathers, stepdads, big brothers, uncles, neighbors, teachers, religious leaders, and others who make and have made a difference in the lives of children. - This is not meant to take away from single moms who do so much for their children. But to acknowledge, especially in this era where men are so often justly or otherwise maligned, those men who 'do the right thing'.
If you are registered to vote, are you truly a patriotic citizen? Do you understand that even 1 vote has in fact changed winners and losers in some elections? That countless people around the world have literally died for the right to vote? So, whatever your political views are, VOTE! Even if you don't like any of the candidates, vote and choose the one you dislike the least. Because the odds are without enough votes, the person whom you truly dislike will win.
'Nuff said!

It should belong to dads whether or not they are still with their child's mom. - As long as they are a part of their child's life, and supports them emotionally, spritually, and financially (the best that they can), they should be honored. (Assuming that there is no abuse, of course.)
Celebrate your dad if you can. While they are still alive and able to know and feel your love.

The Electoral College - What Actually Determines The Next U.S. President
Americans get to vote every 4 years for their President.
But far too many of them do not have the slightest clue that the popular vote does not determine
who that person will be. Or, if they heard of the Electoral College,
they do not quite understand how it works. Toward that end...
