On Aug. 11, 2009, stay-at-home mom Katy Abram inspired conservatives everywhere to speak their minds when she stood up to Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter at a health care town hall in Lebanon County, Pa. and demanded accountability from her government.
Since her fateful meeting with Specter, she has appeared on a variety of news programs, including CNN's "American Morning," FOX News' "Hannity," and MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews." She's been a guest on Glenn Beck's radio program, and the subject of numerous blog posts. Abram has become a lightning rod for the Left and an icon for the Right.
And starting today, you can read her commentary right here at US Conservative Politics & Perspectives at About.com.
In her debut contribution, Katy is just as inspiring as ever. If you aren't ready to get involved in the political process before you read her call to action, don't worry. She will definitely bring you around.
From the article:
Real hope and real change can and will happen, but it is up to us to make it happen. It will not happen, though, with those who are currently in office. The corruption runs deep. At all levels, our government has elements of corruption. I see it here in my own county of Lebanon. So step outside your comfort zone. Do something hard. Look for others in your community who believe in the same things you do. Band together; unite. Our politicians believe that power comes from the highest levels and trickles down. I disagree. The power lies in us. It trickles up, not down.

Why’d the picture change?
I used an older image as a placeholder until I could get a more recent one.
Ah.
More pictures, please.
