O-MAMA.com Launches Campaign for Common Sense TODAY!
Because CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME and America’s Moms Need Your Support

O-MAMA.com, the online destination for America’s Moms who want to really get to the HEART of the issues that matter most to their kids and their country – with a little humor and a lot of common sense!

Orange County, CA - February 10, 2010 – Answering the call for “Common Sense” in politics, O-MAMA.com – short for Opinionated Mama – an online resource for current news and events from a mom’s perspective, today announced the launch of its Campaign for Common Sense.

"America's moms are literally shaping the future of our country...one child at a time. Our kids are exposed to a lot these days and America's moms get hit with some tough questions,” stated Michelle Tingler, founder of O-MAMA.com. “We need to break through all the nonsense and be the constructive voice in our country's most important conversations. No one else – not our politicians, pundits or celebrities - really has the street cred to do it. So, what else is new? Moms to the rescue!"

Not your typical mommy blog, O-MAMA.com is run by two opinionated Southern California moms - Michelle Tingler, a Democrat and former advertising executive, and Debbie Devine, a Republican and former journalist - who are committed to bringing common sense back to our country’s most important conversations by identifying and correcting the disconnect between the messages in the news & events of the day to the lessons we teach our kids at home.

These two Opinionated Mamas believe moms, in particular, have a unique perspective on the issues facing our country today and that together, America’s moms can get to the heart of the issues that matter most to our kids, our families, our communities and our country. Inspired by their real-life “Kitchen Table Talk” to create a user-friendly online resource for all moms, O-MAMA.com taps into the skills learned in motherhood and applies the O-MAMA “Common Sense Circle” to the issues at hand to end the disconnect between what we are teaching our kids at home and what our political and cultural leaders are saying and doing. As all mothers know “what goes around, comes around” and the lessons we teach our kids today will ultimately impact the type of citizens they become tomorrow.

The Campaign for Common Sense consists of four initiatives:

- The Million Mama Cyber March – Moms are invited to join the Million Mama Cyber March by becoming an O-MAMA fan on Facebook (Facebook.com/OMAMA2009).

- 50 State Strategy – O-Mamas will be able to host their own House Parties with other moms to talk about some of the issues impacting our country and develop common sense strategies to communicate these issues with their kids. Videos of the House Parties will be shared on O-MAMA.com, as well as the O-MAMA Facebook and YouTube pages.

- Contract With Our Kids – O-Mamas will be asked to sign a “Contract With Our Kids.” This contract will promise to usher in a new era of parental responsibility, keeping our kids’ futures at center stage.

- Community Service – O-Mamas and their families will have an opportunity to participate in various nationwide O-MAMA community service projects to make their communities a better place.

About O-MAMA’s Democratic Voice: Michelle Tingler
Michelle grew up in Rochester Hills, MI, raised by a single father. A graduate of the University of Michigan and former VP, Management Supervisor at Dailey & Associates Advertising in Los Angeles, CA. She left her advertising career when her first child was born in 1999. However, her professional skills overlapped into her role as a mother - every birthday party was approached like an integrated marketing campaign; every holiday assigned an innovative theme with broad family appeal.

Happily married for 13 years, Michelle has been a busy, engaged, stay-at-home mom of three kids, a dog and a tortoise for nine of them. Michelle became engaged in political issues during the 2008 Presidential campaign and, again, merged her learned skills in both advertising and motherhood with her new passion – politics. The idea for O-MAMA was born.

About O-MAMA’s Republican Voice: Debbie Devine
Nothing is ordinary about this Southern California Republican. She grew up in Corona del Mar, CA, graduated from the University of Southern California and was raised by parents who are still married after 45 years. Typical. Debbie studied abroad, became fluent in Spanish and spent her career years working for Telemundo, CNN en Español and CNN International where she helped launch television programs and networks in Spain, Mexico and Turkey. Surprise!

Finally, motherhood took precedence and Deb traded in her international globe-trotting career for a second one teaching Spanish. She owns and operates a student travel business that takes middle school and high school students to Latin America to help them become global citizens. Her goal is to get kids “out of the bubble” of the United States, use their language skills and participate in community service projects.
Debbie is a divorced mother of 2 great kids and a dog. Her enthusiasm for motherhood, teaching, travel and news is infectious. O-MAMA integrates of all of her experiences and interests.
