Wishcasting Wednesday "What do you wish to take a stand for"

I really like this question.  The answer did not come right away but it did come and when it did I knew it was something I needed to work on.  I am confident in speaking in a group about most things.  I am quiet and I do listen to others but I also make sure my voice is heard except in this one area that has just recently become important to me.  Politics.  I live in a very conservative area of the country and I am much more liberal than most of the people I meet.  My friends and I share a common philosophy so it is easy to talk to them about my views but it is the people I meet in other social situations that I may not agree with.  I don't feel the need to argue with them (that is pointless) but I do feel the need to voice my opinion a little louder and with more conviction than I have in the past.  I believe that knowledge is power so to make this particular wish come true I need to become more knowledgable about the facts so that I can speak not only from the heart but in this case from the head as well.
Thank you Jamie for another great question.
