Are Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann the only conservative political mothers willing to speak out about their lives and opinions? This isn't a rhetorical question.
One of my favorite mom bloggers and political commentators, Joanne Bamberger (aka PunditMom) is in the midst of writing her first book, Mothers of Intention, due out this fall. She tweets that it's been very hard for her to find conservative political moms willing to be interviewed.
That can't be true, can it? C'mon, don't let us liberal moms dominate the conversation! I know your'e out there. That's because when I write about anything abortion-related, I have lots of conservative female (and male) readers posting here to debate my commentary. And intelligent discourse between opposing sides is always appreciated when participants focus on opinion and avoid name-calling.
If you're a conservative mom with kids at home (or kids out of the house that have retained your conservative values) who has raised your family with a strong political awareness and aren't hesitant about sharing your views, Joanne would appreciate speaking with you. Contact her through her blog, and perhaps you'll be featured in her upcoming book.

Linda, Thanks so much for asking your community to be involved in my book project! I look forward to hearing from some more conservative moms!
Looking for political moms – you found us!!! Please check out O-MAMA.com. We are very Opinionated MAMAs and friends, from different ends of the political spectrum. We share our opinions on the social and political issues of the day – with a little humor and a lot of common sense. Although we have only been on the web for a year, we have gained a lot of MOMentum – we have been featured in Redbook, on Oprah radio, in the Chicago Tribune and on Fox & Friends.
Our site is engaging America’s moms in our country’s most important conversations. Yep, someone had to be a constructive voice, so who better than America’s most Opinionated MAMAs? (We also have 16,000+ FB mamas, but we haven’t quite figured out how to tweet yet?!)
Change begins at home!
