As we've focused more on our food and where it comes from, people now have greater awareness of what's being put onto our food, pesticides, labeling issues, and consumer health.

We know we only have about half of our population that's voting.

Sometimes, we have to promote ourselves. Just go out and be very active about trying to find an opportunity.

I call myself an addicted organizer.

I'm glad that the fact that people are still getting poisoned by pesticide drift is gaining attention.

We have to convince people that they have the power to elect people. The people they are electing are the ones making the decisions about how our tax dollars are going to be spent. Is it going to be for more jails, or for more schools? For more house services? It's very important that people understand that, do their research and find out who to vote for.

We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It's a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!
