Tonight the Democratic Club of Wicomico County (Maryland) had a meeting, which I went to (even though choir practice was moved to Wednesday night - I signed out, saying I had a prior commitment, and I had agreed to go before the choir director moved choir for the week). The monthly meetings are on the third Wednesday, and before the election, when ( Read more... )

Wow. Just wow. I got up early to go vote, and was surprised that the lines were not very long. But I went after the before-work crunch and before the lunchtime and after-work crunch time. I took my daughters with me to the polls, and they were as excited as I was! My older one is almost (but not yet)13 and my younger one is 9, so they could ( Read more... )

I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a very Red area in a Blue State!

There's an office in Gettysburg, and the guy told me they're actually opening a new office right here in my own town, so close I could even ( Read more... )

Is anyone else participating in the nationwide Hungry for Change fundraising bake sales for Obama tomorrow? (Saturday) MoveOn.org has rallied organizers of literally thousands of bake sales across the country on that day to raise campaign money and register voters ( Read more... )

So, so tired. But so very happy! Today I was one of several hundred people who showed up bright and early to the Los Angeles site for the first day of the Vote for Change voter registration drive. I've done a little solo calling, but this is the first time I've been able to turn up for a volunteer event and it was a whole lot of fun. I really ( Read more... )
