The 15 Minute Mom weekly report has me reporting from the front lines and living rooms of America's Heartland.

Our frontlines are our living rooms and I knew we had to take action. Being a political activist in the Bush campaigns of 2000 and 2004 as well as a statewide activist in the international organization Protest Warrior was a good start, but I felt I could do more to help my children and our country.

Being a conservative, traditional mom who is a businesswoman, a political activist and a Christian are not dirty words to say anymore in America.

As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to live it more and more

So is man's heart. The desire to perform a work which will endure, which will survive him, is the origin of his superiority over all other living creatures here below. It is this which has established his dominion, and this it is which justifies it, over all the world.

I have departed from this planet and I have left behind my poor earthly ones with their occupations which are as many as they are useless; at last I am living in the scintillating splendor of the stars, each of which used to seem to me as large as millions of suns.
