Fear is a habit. Each time you want to speak up and you do not, it becomes a little easier next time to stay silent. Courage is also a habit. Each time you speak up even when you are afraid it becomes a little easier next time to not stay silent.

How Republicans Could Stop Flailing and Start Connecting with Voters
From National Review, by Jim Geraghty, August 27, 2024
On the menu today: A few days ago, the economist, philosopher, and living legend Thomas Sowell tool Republicans to task for stumbling through a presidential-election season, neck-and-neck and flailing “against an administration whose policies have been rejected by the public in poll after poll.”
Ronald Reagan won two consecutive presidential elections by landslides. How did he do it? He did it by….[Read more…]
Connect The Dots! Traci Gere Supports 75,000 Needy Immigrants Into ME
So, we have wrapped up the second regular session of the Maine State 131st legislature. Hundreds of bills have been enacted that will profoundly impact our community.
While the supplemental budget includes funding for 55% of K-12 public education costs, the cost to the homeowners in our 3 towns is immense. The demands put on our schools by this same legislature are overwhelming our system, causing teacher and administrative exodus and damaging our children.
A letter submitted to The Kennebunk Post, July, 2024
Near the Economos Auditorium at the high school there is a small room that appears to be a “safe space” for those who are questioning their gender. It is here and visible during the school year that we see the book “Gender Queer.” As it is not located in the library, it is not listed in the library catalogue. Thus, anyone perusing the catalogue would not know that it is available. If this is important material, why is it not available in the school library? Is the book in the school to promote tolerance? If so, one would expect that it would be in the library and listed in the catalogue. Why tuck it away in a private place where only those who are “questioning” have access (if that is the case)? How many students use this room? What other books are hidden away there? Are parents aware of the presence of this room? When and how is it used?

I just submitted testimony – You can too! This is what I submitted.
OUGHT NOT TO PASS Maine does not need an Office of New Americans. We need to deal with the American citizens who are here now. We need to focus on the current homeless people in Maine and get them to a point where they can be productive citizens. Have we given up on our current homeless people? There are veterans and children that we have here now that we have not yet properly addressed. We do not need 75,000 “New Americans.” It is said that we have a housing crisis, and this is being addressed by LD2003 and LD1672. If we have a current crisis, what is the sense in bringing 75,000 “New Americans” into Maine???

The Stork, the Conveyor Belt and the Boy-Girl Stamp 2022
Many years ago, there was a cartoon that ended with a stork stamping babies “boy” or “girl” as they came down a fast-moving conveyor belt. It was just one of those silly cartoon antics that sometimes stays with you for years and even my husband remembered it. That image keeps coming to mind as I learn more about The Maine’s Department of Education’s …
