Opportunities to Grasp

   After hearing a speech along with Q&A time this afternoon given by the former Senator Olympia Snowe I am inspired by the vast amount of opportunity and action that can and is taken by people to change what they find troublesome and/or wrong on this earth.
   Olympia Snowe is taking a stand against the stale and almost non-existent efforts of the U.S Congress to change the path of our countries government issues, as well as her efforts to standing up to Partisanship of members in Congress and Committees. Her plans to increase congressional activity for the betterment of the country and lessen or ideally eliminate partisanship are as follows:

• To reward those who are working in their congress positions through various forms
• Send messages to Congress individuals encouraging them in their work, and imputing your opinions to them on how the laws will affect yourself and the public
• And lastly ruin partisanship incentives

   Former Senator Snowe was a very eloquent speaker and I gladly recommend her book 'Fighting For Common Ground: How We Can Fix The Stalemate in Congress.'

   Olympia Snowe's stand against Congressional stalemate and her fight against it, paralleled in my mind to the work done by Katie Davis in Africa through her Amazima Ministries. Katie also found a need and troublesome event that occurred in the world, thus she went out to change it and do what she could. I also recommend Katie Davis' book 'Kisses From Katie.'
   Opportunities are everywhere in the world, be a person who is brave enough to get up and do what they can. It will be worthwhile.
