Wow.
Okay - still no DSL, but I had to sneak in a quick post at the end of my work day.
The hunny and I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 on Friday night. Wow. I implore all of you - no matter what your political ideals or backgrounds, please see this film. It is an amazingly eye opening look at what war has done to a country and what it is doing to our troops. :( I cried and cried and cried. I left the theatre feeling so motivated to do my part to clean up this mess that has been made!
I took part in the town hall meeting on Monday night - sponsored by Move On. The house party I went to was at my local coffee shop and filled with lots of very nice peeps. Michael Moore spoke to all of us via conference call - he is such an inspiring speaker. He really just comes across as such a nice, sincere person. Again, I left this event all fired up! More than ever before, I want to be part of something bigger than myself and do good good good in the world! So, me and the hunny and a few friends volunteered to take part in a phone bank to call people who aren't registered to vote and ask them if they'd like us to send them the documents to do so.... I also decided that I am going to switch my vacation days around and take Election Day off so I can volunteer.
I also signed up as a volunteer at John Kerry's website. I brushed up on my JK reading, getting a clearer picture of his platform. I also spent some of my allocated yarn money and contributed to his campaign!!! So.... no new yarn this month! I think I spent wisely..... more of an investment really. Kerry is up against a very wealthy opponent and I urge all of you who can afford it, to spare even a little dough to help our country fire our current Commander in Chief. I have also been reading about John Kerry's wife Teresa and have really started to respect the work she's done on Women's Rights..... Right on sista!
If you'd like to volunteer or contribute to John Kerry's campaign, feel free to take a walk over to my volunteer website and take a peek.
Okay, so that's all for today. There's a lot of knitting going on too - but this seemed a lot more important at the moment!! I promise - knitting updates soon soon soon!!!! ;)
