WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

"Women Should be Secretaries"

Yep, this headliner statement was voiced as a put-down of our gender, sister Lefties.  And of women of all political persuasions.  It implies that being a secretary is somehow a "lowly" job and/or that women should work in that capacity rather than seeking other professions that require advanced degrees, etc.  Having worked as a secretary myself, I can attest that being a secretary is a highly responsible position requiring an array of skills beyond computer savvy and basic grammar; these jobs tend to come with far more responsibility than compensation in most organizations.  And, by the way, both men and women work as secretaries in today's labor force.   I will admit to agreeing with this opinion—in this instance: Ginny Deerin should be South Carolina's Secretary of State.  She'll make a fine one.

 

Ginny plans to do four essential things: Cut fees, cut the budget, cut regulations and improve customer service.  Her deep experience in the non-profit sector will serve the citizens of South Carolina well.  She knows what services need improving, which processes need streamlining, and how to extend efficient, respectful service to all citizens of the Palmetto State. 


This candidate has my vote and support.  Only wish more of my support could be in monetary form.  But this grassroots candidate is grateful for all support, in whatever amounts—so don't hold back if you can't give big bucks.  Visit her web site, "like" her Facebook page, donate some cash, some time —volunteer, recruit supporters.  We need her as Secretary of State!   www.ginny4sos.com

 

Here's what "grassroots" is all about!  Corporations are not people.  They shouldn't be influencing elections with huge contributions, much less deciding them. Every vote will count more than ever since the Supreme Court's most recent ruling giving bazillionaires more freedom to fuel campaigns of candidates likely to do their bidding when elected.  

 

 

Let's prove, in this instance, that people still have power; individuals can still make a difference in election outcomes.   Let's power Ginny Deerin to victory.   I'm enthusiastic about returning to grassroots "power to the people"— one woman one vote— politics.  Here's an opportunity to do just that.  Visit Ginny online, send a donation, tell her you'll volunteer.  Go, Ginny!  We've got your back.
