What I'm gonna do this week instead of watching the Republican convention:
I'm going to knock on 300 doors and talk to people who are out of work; people who need better health care; people who want their kids to go to schools with fewer than 35 in a classroom; people who've given up on elected officials who promise them the same things every year and never bring any of it about.
I'm going to make 500 phone calls to ask people for money so I can pay for my lawn signs that got delivered Friday, and most of them are going to wish me well but tell me they can't even come up with $10 because they haven't worked in a long while or they've been trying to pay off medical bills.
I'm going to have to decide whether to simply thank them for their time and their vote, or remind them, at the risk of whining, that my opponent has thousands and thousands of dollars from every pharmaceutical, tobacco and insurance company and that we must act together as citizens, not just consumers, to hold on to our country.
It's been pointed out in other threads that the GOP convention will be a windbag event of epic proportion. I don't know what I'd do about that freak show if I weren't out talking to voters, but I'm honored to have an alternative that so thoroughly puts it to shame.
