"Help" me be different

In case you haven't seen it, there is a nice idea of a little pod called "Help".  Well, I probably need a lot of help (lol) but mostly I like to fumble around and find solutions that fit my own uniqueness.

However, I'm sort of hyperactive today and came across an article that made me really want to move.  So I posted this in "Help":

http://www.thederrick.com/stories/08282006-1100.shtml

If you look at that article you might think "so what"?

Well, I live here.  Our paper gave 1/2 of page one and 1/2 of page two to this woman.  And I have never once seen anything suggesting they would do so for "the flip side".

Then I went all over the internet.

Can someone help me out with links or information for either national or PA groups who support "human values"?  Orgs that might help me write for or start a paper here that is just as supportive of freedom of speech, choice and understanding instead of judgemental?

I do not want people thinking we are backwards or intolerant.  I do not want people thinking this woman is "our" voice.  And I'm new here and she has a heck of a head start on me. 

Any help?

I want to show people around here that there are ways to live the life you value (morals and all that) and still not be so judgemental of others and their right to the life they desire.

Where else to come for help in learning how to spread love and understanding than zaadz?  Right?

Feel free to leave your "help" as comments here or come visit the "Help" pod and comment there or mail me.

I appreciate any help you can give.

Hey jdp……..already put in my 'more than 2 cents' in the Help pod.  Really don't know if I was very helpful………take in what you need and ignore the rest :-)

Ask and you shall receive!!!!!!!  Absolutely amazing.  It doesn't have to be a whole newspaper.  I don't have to convince our conservative paper to run something I write. 

Out of nowhere I get a link for Earthdance THEN see the Universal Flag link and suddenly I am flooded with ideas to implement, ways to reach out and share.
