That is specifically what I have told people NOT to do. Don't let your emotions get the better of you, and don't let your message get lost in your passion. Passion has it's place, but should always be tempered by reason. Unfortunately for this woman, she will be remembered for her outburst and not what she had to say. (note: I did not agree with what she had to say, only with her right to say it)

The now Lt. Gov Mark Robinson of NC is one of the best examples of how to use your emotion to convey your message. I remember watching his video before a local political board before I heard him live at the NRA Convention in Dallas. He was passionate but clear, articulate and persuasive. I feel like too many people on both sides ratchet up their intensity beyond any useful purpose. I'm very frustrated the I'm having to fight with the members of my own party to signed onto the legislative priorities of THEIR party and with THEIR majority cannot execute on those priorities in spite of massive grassroots pressure to do just that. Instead they are wrapped up in some personal drama among some of the members. It is hard to reign in my emotions about it all. But I will be calling my Texas Senator's office today to "implore" her to do her job and pass this legislation. I have to resist the urge to query "what the heck are you thinking?"
