I helped make history tonite!
As much as I have wanted to do my part financially to help with the campaign, the fact is that I was laid off back in March and am on unemployment. I just haven't HAD any money to give. Today I got a small profit sharing check from my former employer and made my first political contribution EVER!!! It has not escaped my notice that the check arrived today, before the "matching" donation thing ended. It felt good to be a part of something so right.

And tomorrow I'm volunteering for the first time also, at a Voter Registration Drive! I'm excited, and a little nervous, this IS SC, but I know it will be okay. We're going to take this thing people ... I can feel it in my bones.

9. You're a good egg.
That was really something donating when you are going through a hard time. That's great that you got to make your money work double.

I hope you'll soon be employed again. Good luck!

10. have fun and make sure every appropriate
line is filled in! Don't let them forget to sign or to fill their id or put the mailing address in the home address. People need help! Don't let them down! I stand there with my pen and point out what they need to fill in. It is amazing how many mistakes are made in filling out this form.

Enjoy one of the most empowering acts you can take!

11. Thank you. Your thoughts have been as valuable to the effort as
cash. With our thoughts, we create the World.

P.S. If you're not a little paranoid, you're crazy.
