Calling out the cavalry!
Okay, vertigo66 left me a lovely comment earlier asking how she could help with my job predicament... could she write letters to her elected officials?
And, you know, I thought, why not? And then I thought, hey, I have family and friends that might be willing to do this too. So, I've hit up my family and my FB friends. And now I am going to hit up you!
I have a long spiel but the gist of it is, if you're an American who currently lives in the US, please consider taking a moment to contact your US Representative and your US Senators to ask them to work quickly to resolve the funding situation at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). I would appreciate it as well as my 4,000 colleagues and the over 75,000 civilians who have lost their jobs since July 22nd.

On a related note, I have been leaving comments on John Mica's FB page for the last few days. Nothing rude or threatening, but certainly making it clear that I am laying the blame at his feet. I went there tonight and either he has blocked me or turned off commenting altogether, but I am unable to post to his Wall or comment on anyone else's posts.
GOD, I FEEL SO EMPOWERED RIGHT NOW! I mean, it's sort of exciting, isn't it, breaking the rules challenging authority!
