Several of us have formed a Facebook group called, "What Makes Your State Great?" We plan to ask people from each of the fifty states to post about their state.. what makes it great? what do you love about your state? how does it contribute to the secular union of states that makes up the USA? For those of you outside the U.S., feel free to jump right in.. if you have visited a particular state(s) and want to post, we'd love to have you do so. If you haven't, but really want to visit one, tell us why. You don't have to be a Pagan to do this. You don't have to pray to any god, don't have to believe in anything other than keeping the USA a country that maintains its separation of church and state.
We're starting a day ahead of the DC-40. This gives those who do pray, direct energy, etc... some ammo for their good thoughts the next day.
On the final day of the DC-40's prayer campaign, we plan to post things like The Declaration of Independence, portions of The Constitution and secular quotes from our country's founding fathers.
It's simple, easy and doesn't take a lot of your time and energy to do. I like that. We're all busy, and I also don't want to give these people more focus than they deserve.
I'm posting the schedule below. Each state is listed, along with its official nickname-the DC-40 also plans to pray a new nickname over each state. Some are eyebrow-raising (The Throw Jezebel from the Wall state) and others are just flabbergasting. We like our state nicknames the way they are too.
We like our country the way it was designed. We plan to hold fast and keep it that way.

I'll also be posting on my blog as well, for those of you who don't "do Facebook". We're also going to feature some cool facts about each state for each day of this campaign. I'm planning to take both Maryland and West Virginia, personally, as I was born and raised in WV and have lived in MD for the last 10 years. Each state contributes to the whole of our great nation, and we love them just the way they are. We hope you'll join us!

I don't do facebook, but I can still participate too, on my blog?
I live in WV (right on the KY border). I'll be posting about this later today, but it's so nice to meet another West Virginia Witch! :)
Hey Robin! Of course you can!! Any and all are welcome and by whatever means they prefer to participate. The more, the merrier!
Alabama is the Beautiful. The yellowhammer is our state bird. I'd like to do a post on my blog.
What a great idea - I'd be happy to do Michigan. I'll go look now.
Hi Kallan! Just joined the fb group and I'll represent Florida if it's still available. Your new group is a really good idea. :) Thanks!
I'm in Virginia so I would love to post about Virginia! I haven't been here very long but the state I come from (Ga.) the only good things I can say about it is that I escaped and never have to return. Hahaha I kid but in all seriousness. This is a great idea. I'm glad you came up with it and I'm glad to be a part of it!
