Reply #27: What are you doing specifically to make it happen???

I know I and my spouse have always voted but never actually campaigned for anyone. Not this time! We have volunteered to walk, fold, mail, call, talk to anyone and everyone that mentions voting for George/Cheney. We are senior citizens and have learned more about politics and the process than we ever thought we would. It has improved our thinking abilities along with our circulation .....you really have to do something to get rid of the anger within.

Our daughter who has always been an activist and is now living and teaching in Russia, just e-mailed me and when I told her of our political activities she said that above her classroom computer she has the local newspaper photo of me at the local Peace March and above it a bumper sticker "Bush Lied - They Died". During her summer vacation she returned home only to hear on the local news that one of her former students (and a favorite who still maintained contact with her) had just been killed in Faluja (sp). She was able to attended his funeral. She told us that she was so proud of us and that she felt so useless being away from home and that somehow we were acting for her and those that are unable to protest or become active to get Bush out of office. The Expats truly know how dangerous this administration is for the whole world.
