I read William's thread regarding the men on this board not pulling their weight. Even though I'm a woman, I saw myself in his words.

I'm sure we all have our own reasons for not putting in the same level of hard work that many ALIPAC members do, but I think we need to do some soul-searching and ask ourselves if it's fair to use this site as merely a place to vent.

Because I'm very guilty of just that. I come here, and I vent. I feel better, but I'm not actually doing anything to help the cause.

I cannot send emails through our email system here at work regarding illegal immigration. I would get fired if I was caught using our email system for political purposes.

At home, I have a frustrating situation in that my husband is sympathetic to illegal immigration and considers me a semi-Nazi. This has put a huge damper in our marriage; therefore, I try to keep my anti-illegal immigration views to myself, and I don't come to this site when I'm home with my husband.

Regardless, I feel that I can no longer take from ALIPAC and not give back. I have to make the decision as to whether or not I can become active in the fight, pulling my weight and doing my fair share, or leave. Because I realize it's unfair of me to just come here to vent.

And I think a few others here probably need to make that decision too.
