civil rights on the line

In 1968, one of the most influential pieces of legislation in our country’s history was signed into law to end unjust discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or familial status. Sadly, nearly 54 years later, the fight for equal protection u…

meet Lena & co 😺 because it’s Nat’l Pet Day

Today is National Pet Day, and as one of the biggest animal lovers in the Dean family, I knew Mad would let me take care of today’s email. What would we do without our pets? In our family, that’s an impossible question to answer. As far back as I can remember, we always had cats, dogs, tu…

Friend, will you stand by me? FW: direct impact – how can you say no, really?

Friend – I’m going to get straight to the point. My finance director, Cole, just let me know that we are about $2,789 away from reaching our end-of-quarter goal, and closing this gap will help my campaign submit a strong FEC report, stay on track to launch the new website, and start our ou…

direct impact – how can you say no, really?

Friend – D.C. Republicans have already raised tens of MILLIONS to flood the airwaves in Pennsylvania. They are pouring everything they have into spreading misinformation to flip PA from blue to red. We aren’t backing down or allowing them to drown us out. In fact, we are currently putting…

Friend – the stakes are high right now. FIRST: The NRCC added PA-04 to their target list, claiming they viewed it as vulnerable to flip. THEN: Republicans in Pennsylvania flooded the airwaves with tens of millions of dollars in ads with hopes of flipping the Commonwealth red come Novembe…

💐flashback flowers, new seeds of hope 🌷

Dear Friend, I love spring, which is not surprising considering where I used to work. When I was 14, I got my very first job at the local flower shop in the heart of Glenside: Penny’s Flowers.  Penny's has been a staple of the Glenside community since 1937. It's been a while since I work…

Sharing our story – 1 year later

A year ago, I could never have imagined how much co-authoring a memoir with my son could mean. When Harry and I began writing our story, I gained a new perspective on the ugliness of addiction to opioids – and the hope found in recovery. For years, I was scared to death for my son. I didn’…
