Throughout the month of May, I’ve been an activist on behalf of the unemployed (primarily) and covering other news stories that just would not make that much sense on OIMS.

Here is a partial list of what I have written, which many visiting now may find useful. Many apply to current economic conditions, again stressing unemployment, unemployment extensions, Congress, job forecasting, and more. In a nutshell, they are:

Job Forecast Outlook Interesting Yet Misleading (May 8th)
DSCC Face Off GOP (May 8th)
Congress silence defeafening (May 10)

In addition I’ve covered 14 additional topics, including a petition drive to Washington on behalf of the unemployed, stories about mortgage fraud and… oh holy Toledo, just too many to list.

If you click here you’ll see the other news stories I’ve covered. Many may pertain to you and yours!

Just this morning there’s a new one up. It is an excellent, easy solution to cleaning up the oil spill environment. That particular one is definitely worth reading and watching. The idiots at BP still haven’t figured out how to shut Deepwater Horizon down, but two ingenious guys have a solution to surface problems.

So, as you will see I’ve been busy! I also highly enjoy writing. When (if) you visit, I have no problem asking you to visit some of the sponsors INSIDE the news articles. With a husband unemployed, it is a small way to help me and my family if you would.

I’d like to call your attention to a news website (the banner has been in my sidebar for a few months now) that anyone who fancies him or herself to be a TRUE news fanatic should explore. The WorldNewsVine is strong and growing even more so minute by minute.

The WNV is (for now) actively seeking bloggers who are:

o  Already familiar with WordPress in an MU setting
o  Competent writers who will properly classify and tag their reporting, and
o  Ready and able to actively participate on an already-recognized, yet young-enough-to-grow-with, news website.

Obviously they are seeking individuals who “report the news as they see it.” Regionally, locally, throughout the globe. Above all, professional. Now by professional, I mean:

o  You need to know the difference between fact and fiction
o  Be willing to research what you write, and
o  If you’re so inclined, receive true Press Credentials – an honest to goodness press kit.

With full press access, you’ll be able to report on local meetings, State or Province happenings, get interviews, etc.

So if your thing is, or has always been, to be a REAL reporter, check into joining the team at  WorldNewsVine.
