Cure International helping Afghan Mothers

Cure International is helping mothers in Afghanistan by providing care for them while they are pregnant. Did you know that a woman’s life expectancy in Afghanistan is 44 years? I was shocked to find a woman dies in childbirth every 30 minutes. There are so many amazing charities out there but this one really struck my heart. I have a heart for mothers and their babies. This is such a simple problem that we have simple solutions too… but it is a devastating one. You can either send a card and Cure will donate $3 for a pre-natal visit for one mother… or you can look at their online catalog and provide simple needs for the mothers and babies in afghanistan with not a whole lot of money. Think of it, just your Starbucks latte in the morning could help save a child.

It’s a very good time to keep your own counsel. While the words coming out of Obama’s mouth are not all Orwellian, and the tactics he advises are not all facist - he is headed in that direction. You’ll know to run for the hills when the teacher’s union starts recording names of students whose words indicate uninformed parents.
A perfect storm of liberal guilt, a sycophantic media and a vacuum in conservative leadership produced what may prove to be the most inept, misguided presidency in our history except for Buchanan and Carter. But then - those failures produced a Lincoln and a Reagan. Not sure if the GOP still has what it takes to rescue the country for the 3rd century in a row. We will see.
