My name is Betsy Wraight. I come from a long line of "leftie" activists, from grandparents who fought the repression of the church in old Russia, to parents who worked with SANE - an anti-nuke organization in the 50's and fought the John Birch Society. In 6th grade I wrote my first paper - on disarmament. I campaigned for JFK, marched in the streets of DC during the Vietnam war.
I am retired - I trained Juvenile Probation Officers for a long time - and I currently coordinate grief support groups for children. Along with my business partner, I am starting an on line business for women in menopause and hope to have some fun with this.
To say I am an avid Liberal Democrat is to understate my passion for the ideals of the Democratic Party. I truly do believe in the Power of the People, and see that the "people" are being undermined at every turn by some pretty dark forces. I write and respond as much and as often as I can through social media and site such as this. We must keep this dialog going.
