im sorry mz w but youre clearly overqualified for in-the-trenches kinda entrance-level stuff we hand out. have you ever considered running for national office? LOL
I'm "active" in that I show up to vote, I eat dinner with the local party chairman, because we're both members of the rotary club, I work down the street from my democratic congressman. I also complain regularly about how I'm being underpaid to my boss, who's a democrat. Oh, and of course, as a university professor, I do my best to subvert the little, impressionable minds that come into my class, to the Evils that are the Democratic Party.
Cheers
fair enough. i appreciate your response. i posted the question to find out who among us was active in local party politics. perhaps i should have anticipated the possibility of cross-party-lines activism as well?
as noted above, maybe i should be asking smarter questions? thanks for dropping by and helping me to see that.
makes sense to me. in another post about badnarik and the greens asking for an ohio recount, i mentioned i was gonna be asking the same question of libertarians. maybe i shouldnt have focused on affiliation of any kind?
youre killin me here. good thing im goin out laffing.
mah man! all that hard work will pay off when youre ushered in to meet the 1000 virgins you earned in furtherance of the cause
conveener and chair of the Chatfield Township caucus, a delegate to the Fillmore County DFL Convention, and a delegate to the DFL State Convention in Duluth. This was only the second time I've been this active, since I'm only 20. Also, I did a lot of work for a local DFL candidate for State House. We only lost by 400 votes in a heavily conservate area against a 10-year incumbant! I call that a damn good campaign.[/quote]
at last! i was really beginning to wonder if all the local stuff was now being done solely with computerized mailing/phone lists or robots or something. sounds like you hadda pretty full year--im very impressed.
your candidate lost to davids? (that seemed the most likely of the several races in that area). if thats the case, 400 votes would be less than 5% of the total and, like you said, not at all bad against an entrenched incumbent.
i really appreciate your reply.
i feel like a successful diogenes on acid (lookin for politicos instead of the usual seach targets hahahaha). im gonna let this rest for a day or two and then ill do something similar without specifying party affiliation to see if thatll turn up anyone else. it suprises me there arent more real-life grassroots people in ju but...
