Why she was nominated:
She works with veterans and our military families. She had and continues to have the courage to speak the truth. - Anonymous.
In her own words:
Why do you think you were nominated to the Daily Press Most Inspiring Women 2009?
It is humbling to be nominated and considered inspiring to others. After being fired from an extremely popular radio show I held my head up and continued to stand by my message. After losing my job at the age of 58 I reinvented myself. I turned to a new industry and began a streaming radio show over the Internet. I am in syndication with another radio station and have begun ' What's On Your Mind' a friday evening two hour television show. I believe I have inspired others in understanding that it is ok to have differing opinions - what is important is to be able to discuss these opinions and learn from each other.
What activities/organizations are you involved in and why?
Rolling Thunder - Chapter 1, California. Board Member. It is a national organization that looks after POW/MIA recovery for the nation.
SOC Club - A group I founded one year ago. Save Our Country - Save Our California - Save Our Community or Same Old Crap and we are not going to take it any more! This group meets monthly to discuss local issues and those of the state. Guest speakers bring insight and motivate citizens to be more active in government.Active with AMVETS activities and perform various hosting duties as requested such as Veterans day ceremonies at the Southern California Veterans Home in Barstow.
Second Harvest Food Bank - Beginning a program called 'Food for Thought' in April. This 13-week program will help others to understand the needs of the needy. I am becoming involved with this worthwhile organization and understanding how they provide food for so many. Feeding America will visit on one segment. Education and need along with learning will help us all.
California Republican Assembly. We are working towards issues facing the party and this country.
How do you think you make a difference?
When given the opportunity to host a radio show, as I do today, I decided I could make a difference by allowing a variety of topics to be open for discussion, such as political and governmental actions along with agencies in need as well as agencies that assist with our children the poor our disabled and the elderly. The United States is at war and supporting our military, the men and women and their families that are making the sacrifices that keep the rest of America safe is very important to me. Allowing listeners, even if just for a moment to stop and think about the needs of others.
If you could share something with the public, what would that be?
Believe in yourself. Live with honor - hold your head high while remaining humble and receptive to others needs.
