Karita Hummer's Silver Pen Award is my own personal accolade for good writing that advances the progressive vision for America.
I had a fellow blogger ask, what is the meaning of Karita Hummer's Silver Pen Award and this is what I answered.
I share it here, reprinted from the John Edwards blog.

Just my own way of spreading the good word. (none / 0)
When I get excited about a piece I see, I think it deserves a silver pen award, as we have seen in our local newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News. (I always thought it might be a good thing for the blog tohave such an award, but, then I thought it would not really have been good for the Campaign to do such choosing.)
So, I invented my own, when I felt especially moved or impressed. It's just a personal accolade I like to give to our great citizen journalists in this blog community. When people accept the award, I repost their piece in my own blog site at Blogspot, http://passionateprogressivepatriot.blog spot.com/.
I hope it doesn't seem too presumptuous or that I am taking myself too seriously. It's poking a little fun at myself, but I do mean my praise very sincerely.
I will not limit my Silver Pen Award to blogs only found on the JRE blog, but will inlcude blogs and writings from other sites, as appropriate to the mission of my blogspot site which is to advance progressive thought.
