Time flies when you’re having fun and boy, have we been having fun!  This week is the third anniversary for SGP Action and I’ve been a loud and proud member of Smart Girl Politics (SGP) since December 2008. Back then, we were but a handful of members.  Today we have over 45,000 members across our great nation.

Some of the original Smart Girls at this years Smart Girl Summit in St. Louis

Our mission is simple.  Engage.  Educate.  Empower.

Engage: We will provide the opportunity and environment to facilitate the exchanging of ideas on a local, state, and national level.

Educate: We will educate women to understand basic political party structures and how they can get involved in their community to make a difference. We will educate women on how to register voters and identify voter fraud in their local precincts. We will assist those women who chose to move to leadership roles in their communities and provide them with the tools necessary to apply, run, and win an elected position.

Empower: We will build a community of activities who empower one another to stand up for their conservative beliefs. We will defend the right of conservative women to share their voice, their opinions, and their right to serve their country in any capacity they so chose. We will give conservative women a voice in the party system which allows their beliefs and principles to be heard.

Prior to my joining SGP, I would have never believed I could make such a difference in my community. In the past 3 years, I’ve written emails and made telephone calls to congressman all over our nation regarding important issues and bills. I’ve educated citizens on voter registration.  I’ve attended tea parties and have spoken in front of thousands about the importance of activism, how great our country is and what we should to do to keep her great.  I’ve also had the opportunity to meet Congressional and Presidential candidates.  And through it all, I’ve been honored to be the Texas State Coordinator too.
