Greetings Y'all
Before I get to this great story about people who are not afraid to wage peace with Iran, I want to let you all know about our Subscriber Appreciation Contest.
While I wish I could give each and every one of my subscribers one of these great AWOP T-Shirts, finances are such that I am afraid that is not possible. But, by signing up for our updates via e-mail I will be able to track subscribers and choose one lucky winner by random drawing.
Enter your e-mail in the subscribe via e-mail box in the right sidebar to enter. Be sure and check your inbox and respond to your validation e-mail to complete your subscription and validate your contest entry.
All who sign up for e-mail updates and are still subscribed on December 15 will be eligible for the drawing. The winner will be contacted via e-mail and also announced here on December 20th. You can choose from any of our 2008 collection shirts.
I would like to thank all my subscribers and readers and wish you all Happy Holidays!

Citizen Diplomats
What a great idea. People to people diplomacy, what a concept. I came across this great story over at Op-Ed News.
With the Bush administration's unrepentant militarism over the past eight years, preferring destruction over discussion and war over words, and with Bush refusing to meet with his contrived opponents unless antagonistic preconditions were met, it's fallen upon citizen diplomats to pursue and model the adult diplomacy this nation needs. Thus Evans, Benjamin and Wright, who understand that peace is achievable, that ALL war is failure, and the salvation of the planet is at stake, valiantly took on the task.Peace y'all
President-elect Obama, Iranians are wonderful people. They don't deserve harm. In my life as an educator, I work with many Iranian adults. My students are physicians, engineers, educators, scientists and more. Iranians living in America are frequently more wealthy than those in Iran today. They left Iran with their riches. Most define Iran by "before the [Islamic] Revolution" and "after the Revolution." They are some of the best-traveled, most sophisticated and generous people I know. Most Iranians I've met, who are naturalized citizens, voted for YOU in HOPE you'd negotiate a lasting peace with Iran. Read the rest of the story here.

I have a separate page to my google home page where I subscribe to my favorite blogs and yours is on there; however, I want one of those t-shirts so I have signed up for your emails. I've only subscribed by email to Nanny Goats in Panties and now you. Now doesn't that make you feel special?
Greetings Preston,
Well, yes I do feel special : )
Feel free to cancel the e-mail subscription after the contest if you prefer to get the feed through other means. The e-mail subscription is the only way I have to accurately track subscribers for the contest.
It's not like I have a million readers or anything so your chances wining it are pretty good. I really appreciate your support of my little blog.
