SHAMELESS INDIE PLUG #15: Carnelian

Being an independently-published author, I understand how difficult it is to be successful with limited resources. Self-publishers need all the help they can get, especially with exposure. That's why I've decided to periodically highlight other indie authors in a series I like to call Shameless Indie Plug. Picture Today's SIP takes us through time with Carnelian, the first book of the Chalcedony Chronicl Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Victoria Stoklasa  (?)

“By making the government a combination of elected officials and citizen-backed initiatives and referenda, there can truly be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
Victoria Stoklasa, Sign It Into Law: How to Put Your Petition on the Ballot

“Many people who have an interest in politics feel they should proclaim—loudly, and at any given time—what their views are and why the “other side” is wrong. These proclamations appear in many forms, from scathing letters to the editor to frothing-at-the-mouth comments on blogs and internet videos. Although expression and debate are vital parts of policymaking, political speech should be used to push forward ideas that will help others.”
Victoria Stoklasa, Buddhism and Politics: Citizens, Politicians, and the Noble Eightfold Path

“Impartial, compassionate, brave, and understanding…these are the traits that come with putting the Noble Eightfold Path into practice. By following this path, anyone can become the kind of leader the Buddha hoped to see—a leader of peace.”

“By making the government a combination of elected officials and citizen-backed initiatives and referenda, there can truly be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
Victoria Stoklasa, Sign It Into Law: How to Put Your Petition on the Ballot

“If you have the right to influence the laws that are made in your community, why not take the opportunity to do something good?”
