he always has the local state assembly and senate congress clowns in tow

i was too angry and did not think i could be civil.

but quite frankly we need to go to these events and argue with them. but i could not this time.

what to do?
local party is trying to hire an organizer...i am contributing more than i can really afford.....
not a huge amount....under 5 hundo.....but more than i have ever given before to anything.

do stuff like that.

i am also offering to take in for a short time a soon to be homeless fellow dem. she is in between checks....

i am trying to live the politics i preach...rubber hits the road...pope and his golden rule thing--although i knew i was going to do this prior to his visit and am not catholic.
