interest as an
artist is to attempt to document the times we live in,
particularly as it relates to
two issues -- our ever expanding population and how it
affects the environment,
and our changing culture and how it has been affected
by the new political realities that grew
out of September 11, 2001. Much of what we took for granted
in the areas of personal
freedom have been severely
eroded by our overarching fear of terrorism.
She is a registered Libertarian,and has served as past Chair
of the Boulder County LP,
and is very interested in
ensuring that the core values of the Constitution are
maintained,
even in these years where fear of terrorists
and drugs have caused our country to push away
from the
less-secure-feeling freedoms of the past. Of late,
she has become very interested in
property
rights, and the ways they are being eroded as development
and regional governance
pressures hammer away at our
local City Councils. "Losing Grandpa's Farm" is a response
to
those issues.
She has also have done a lot of writing, particularly for
the LouisvilleandSuperior hub at
http://www.YourHub.com,
the county-based Denver Post insert no longer available in
Boulder County (over 130 articles since 2005, plus a number of blog entries under the name
"all4thinking"), and has served as the newsletter editor
for the Libertarian Party of Boulder
County.

As an election judge for some years now, she is very concerned
about the veracity and integrity
of our election process. Working in computer networks in the late 80s and early 90s, at BBN's CSNET,
she gained enough computer experience to know the dangers of relying on software,
even the potential for
mail-in ballot abuse because software is too easily changed,
out of the sight of the pubic, to be entirely safe. She hopes
we will return to more reliable,
even if slower, systems
so we can restore some credibility to the election process.
