Standing up.

You know, there are times when you have to stand up. Times when you have to say, "This is what I believe in" and put your money where your mouth is.

I won't go into detail, but I was confronted with one of those times tonight. And I'm happy to say that opportunity and means coincided so that I was able to act on my beliefs to help someone. I couldn't do nearly as much as I wanted but I was able to contribute. It means a lot to me to be able to help others.

Whoever's out there...tell me your story. Please. I want to know you. I want to help you. I want to be able to link hands with you, to stand up and say, "This is what we stand for and you can't take our rights away." I want to be able to fight for the things I believe in- women's rights, reproductive rights, civil rights and civil liberties. I want to connect with the rest of you so that we can become a force for positive change...together.

Come. Tell me your story.

Dao San Cai wants to hear it.
