A good friend of mine started a little thing called Music Mondays where she sends a group of people a new song every Monday with a little blurb about the artist and the song. It's great! So I'm stealing the idea, but for literature. (Thanks Jenille!) I'll come up with a cute title later...
#1 - The Battle Plan
This is one of the most poignant pieces I've read in a while.

"The Battle Plan", posted on The Huffington Post(9-17-08), is actually the introduction to Naomi Wolf's book Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries. It talks about how we need to reclaim our rights and our vision of what being American is. Start a new American Revolution!
In this season of politics and concern, it was quite refreshing to read her words. No lipstick or pork or lies, she talks about our "key enlightenment beliefs" and what it really was that our Forefathers set out to do - and just how groundbreaking The Constitution was -- and still is.
I recommend reading the article for sure - and if you get the chance to entire book as well (amazon.com - $11.16). I can't wait!
