America - the way it should be...

About Me

Saramerica is an editorial page columnist of a Fairfield county CT newspaper. She is not a big Bush fan.

I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com

My Interests

Politics, seeing Bush impeached, writing, tennis, dark chocolate, Daily Show, Colbert Report, John and Elizabeth Edwards, Getting people to THINK!

I'd like to meet:

Interesting creative people who don't just complain about the world but make an effort to change it. Anyone with a good sense of humor.

Heroes:

People who fight for intellectual freedom and to preserve the Constitution. Those who are tolerant, not dogmatic. Jon Stewart. Stephen Colbert. Maureen Dowd. Librarians - because they're on the front line in the fight against censorship. Survivors of physical and emotional hardship who are able to retain a positive outlook.
