Every Vote Counts--Count Every Vote



It is a few days after Bernie did not get the win we wanted in New York.
And yet again, there were problems with voting. There were problems in Brooklyn, his stompin' grounds. There are lawsuits a-plenty. Am I being paranoid to say that something--AGAIN--smells fishy?



I refuse to get discouraged. There are many true, honest, good people in place who are not going to stand for this and I consider myself to be one of them. And I know many thousands, tens of thousands, millions who are also insisting that we have honest elections. And I am so grateful.

But I have to ask myself, how can winning the election be so important that either it's been handled poorly from stupidity, trying to save a buck (that isn't working out so well now, is it?) or because people have lied, are still lying? Isn't there value in honesty and integrity? Aren't these values a huge part of America?



What is the cost of truth in voting? And how can we make sure that EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS? That EVERY. VOTE. IS. COUNTED?

America, stand for truth. Demand that honesty and integrity become The Only Way to Vote Here. This is a blessing, a right and a responsibility. Take my hand, Americans. Pray to the God of your choice. This isn't Bernie's campaign that is suffering. When there is dishonesty, we all suffer.



I DON'T CARE WHO YOU VOTE FOR, DEMAND THAT THE ELECTIONS BE EASY, FAIR, HONEST AND ALL-ENCOMPASSING. We are all in this together, no matter who gets our vote in November.

#BWW--This Stands for #Bernie Would Have Won--and He Would Have

On Facebook, they have this, look back and see what's happened in years past thingie. "Your Memories on Facebook." I've enjoyed looking at my memories--what the weather was like it years past, when I've been able to ride because the weather was great, when I had to stay indoors when the weather wasn't. I have some weird posts like, "I have a secret and soon I'll be able to tell it," and I think, JEN, what was the secret??? I also have some, boy, this show I'm in is great, but there's been so many shows I can't remember which one it was. The posts that make me the saddest, though, besides the ones about my son who passed away, are all my hopeful, amazing #Bernie posts. WE HAD THIS, PEOPLE. He was so the clear winner. The rallies! The little bird! The momentum! WE HAD THIS.  Then, as the days go by, my "memories" relate post after post after post of voter tampering, voter fraud, polls closing, registrations getti

Monologues and Other Theatrical Horrors

I am in a very intense film acting class. It is like group therapy, and I mean that in the best sense possible. But it took me a half-hour of crying last night, sad that I had chosen a stupid monologue, I wasn't one of the cool kids because I was old, and all the other crap that came billowing out of my crying heart to hear one of my patient classmates say: why not choose a new monologue? I was like, can I do that? I think back to this and wonder, why was I so afraid to change my monologue? What was holding me back? There are implications here. Big Implications. I consider myself a strong person. I've been told by gazillions of people that I am a strong person. Except I have you all fooled! I am an insecure person who waits for permission all the time, permission for things that I have complete control over! I look for validation, stamps of approval, and a big ol' nod for things when all I would have had to do is ask, is this okay? Or even better: Here's what I&
