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?

Google’s recent launch of Google Plus marks a huge move for the web giant. At first glance the concept seems simple. Who needs another ‘like’ button? Dig deeper however, and from a social media perspective, the little button may have huge implications. Not only will content publishers and businesses be able to use their friends and followers to drive more internet traffic via referrals, the ‘+1′ next to search results may be even more valuable.

Yovia offers Google Plus implementation free to bloggers and businesses

Yovia, the first People Engine, announced the addition of ‘Google Plus’ functionality automatically on thousands of websites across the Yovia network.

The feature is free to both Yovia contributors and Yovia sponsors and marks Yovia’s commitment to providing users with the ability to measure, grow and monetize their influence.

“The new Google +1 product is a fantastic tool for anyone wishing to grow their Social Capital” said Yovia CEO Jalali Hartman. “It adds a social layer to Google Search, and that is very important for people to take advantage of”, said Hartman.

Yovia’s technology allows millions of social networkers around the world to measure, grow and earn income from social networking and blogging. The company, and it’s growing network of worldwide contributors help spread the word on behalf of advertisers.

“We’ve added Google Plus to every Yovia blog and are offering free setup and integration for businesses who wish to take advantage of this powerful new tool from Google,” said Hartman.

I recently got introduced to 1% for the planet, a great non-profit that helps match donations made by companies around the world with environmental causes. The organization was co-founded by Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia.

Companies ranging from Patagonia to small local businesses opt to give 1% of their sales each year towards the environment.

You can help support companies that give 1% back here.

Check out the great video on their organization here:
