Who will take on the establishment and Obama in 2012 and what should the issues be?

I have been building a national talk radio show for 10 years now, syndicated with Information Radio Network and for the last 5 years, building back my career, show and life from my near fatal motorcycle accident in 2005. Many of you have known about this and followed me since my accident. Various journals and folks have written about my wreck and return, including Judi McLeod, the award winning editor of canadafreepress.com, an amazing woman and friend.

Peppered through all this has been the simple desire to listen to and obey the leading of God, make a difference however I could with my radio show, articles, and stand, while exploring ways to be more loving to my husband and kids. Doing my show, building back my life, trying to pay the bills and writing my articles has been my simple focus, certainly not pretending to be big and fancy.

Things feel a little more complicated and weird for me lately

For the last few months I have been feeling more and more pressure from some of you to run for President of the US in the 2012 election cycle. This is where you laugh out loud. Notice, the request isn’t to run for President of the Soccer Mom club, PTA, a Radio association, local or state political office. Instead, some of you have gone straight past GO to collect $200.00 to the Mother load ‘absurd’ question of the century. “Laurie, will you run for President?â€
