*breaking* - DU is from this point on to be known as SU

[Nanjing to Seoul]

82. Me? Where was I? Fighting it every step of the way.

I worked to get my Congressman and Senators to vote against the Patriot Act. My Senators are Republicans and voted for it. My Congressman is a Democrat and voted against.

I worked to get people on the ballot that would overturn the Patriot Act. I campaigned for people committed to ending that horror.

I put myself on the line at work and in university. I get called an America hater, a terrorist supporter. I had the police called on me by College Republicans saying I was inciting riots for working against the Bush Administration when I was an undergraduate at the University of Arizona and Graduate student at Northern Arizona University.

I got threatened with my job by my principal for my Obama and Dean bumper stickers. I got nasty phone calls from parents telling me I was not fit to be a teacher because I didn't support the government. I refused to take the loyalty oath Arizona forces all teachers to take before employment with the ACLU on my side.

Unlike the liberals that Phil Ochs sings about, I did and do my part every God damn day of my fucking life. What the hell do you do?

I live overseas now and get the brunt of this shit from the locals in China, as they think I support everything my government does IN MY NAME. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CONSTITUTION BY ANY PRESIDENT, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!!!

I was also working to end the practice of corporal punishment in Arizona schools. I resigned a teaching position in protest over the use against one of my students.

You really hit a nerve with me over your snarky post. You accused me of doing nothing and getting pissed when Snowden said his shit.
