55. So you have not done anything in the real world

I could tell by your posts. If you want anyone who is actually participating in trying to help the party to take your posts seriously, you really should participate in the real world.

As for my efforts, I am very busy on voter protection issues (I helped trained 200+ poll watchers in Harris County and helped it turn blue). I am currently helping to organize a PAC to help on grass roots issues in my county. We had a training session last weekend and another on Feb. 25. We passed out 75 copies of Indivisible at the last meeting and had a DCCC representative talk about targeting CD 7 in Texas.

Again, the real world takes real work. There are a good number of posters on this board who work with their parties in the real world. MineralMan is one of my favorite posters and he is very active with his party.
