About Me
Deanna (Dee) Taylor deesings
This is my personal activist blog. I write about my activist activities, including the peace ☮ movment, Green Party, politics and other progressive endeavors.
Pledge to Life
I pledge allegiance to all life
in its interdependent diversity;
and to the Planet upon which it exists, one World, under the sky, undividable
with harmony and balance for all.

The sunflower is my favorite plant. Aside from its many uses (food, oil, etc.), it is a symbol of hope, peace, and nonviolence. I have a dedicated personal page on sunflowers. The link is in my list of links below.
