Today (August 26) is Dog Appreciation day. I actually took a few extra minutes this morning to walk my dogs longer than usual. Not much when you consider how much fun they had. You may have seen this video of a lab sitting by his owner’s casket. The man was killed in action.

What a great day to appreciate your dog – and appreciate members of the military!

For the last few months the political rhetoric has been louder than normal. As an election nears here in the United States, lawmakers seem to pick up the pace. With a slew of monumental challenges to face, they need to be. Our country is in a tough spot and, now, more than ever, we need leaders – and we need to take action ourselves.

Like most people, I tend to catch the headlines, have some sort of reaction, and then go about my day. I always go to vote, and try to at least be educated on the issues, but I can’t say I do much more than that politically – other than this.

I was checking out social author Walter Brasch and I came across this old Anne Feeny song. I was a product of the 60′s, not a participant and so I can’t relate totally with the struggle the country faced then, but it’s a great song and I think it puts things in perspective.

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
‘Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you’re a friend of mine

We are free to change, however we like, but nobody needs to go to jail for it. All you have to do is get online.

RockTheCapital.com was founded by Andy Stein and Eric Epstein. These guys are real influencers and you may have seen them on one of the news channels talking about Nuclear Energy or Politics recently. They have a passion for politics and to see real change in our world. They started Rock The Capital (RTC) as a network of political stakeholders and it’s where I first heard the old Anne Feeny song.

RTC has a vision for giving voice to those with something to say. Like Walter Brasch for example. Walter lived the 60′s and has written 17 books since then, along with getting a Ph.D and becoming one our nations leading American Social Issues journalist. Rock the Capital gives Dr. Brasch, and all of us, a louder political voice.

So do yourself a favor (as well as Dr. Brasch, Andy Stein and Eric Epstein) and listen to the song and ask yourself – would you go to jail for justice?
