The Real Issues - Not Lipstick Service

If you're going to run as an average Joe hockey soccer mom, then for God's sake speak about how mothers in this country are being crushed under an incredible weight of stress and anxiety. And not just recent news where we hear tales of the next Great Depression every single day. Talk about how we cry after leaving the grocery store because buying food is breaking the family budget. How we pray that child care will wait just one more day to cash our check. Or how we worry about lead in the toys, e. coli in the food supply, and pharmaceuticals in the water. And please talk about how exactly you're advocating for special needs kids, beyond the photo ops. Because mothers' hearts are aching all across this country for dozens of reasons and we can't afford the lip service any longer.
