Political Campaigning

I wouldn’t characterize myself as an overtly political person however, Sunday I was invited to assist a friend with his neighborhood John Kerry Rally. I know him from being a member of Black and White Men Together, the social organization. I’ve met a good number of men I’ve become friends with years through that org. Anyway, my friend Tom, is a Democrat, recently changed from Republican. He is a great person, and very handsome, loved by friends and neighbors alike. His neighbors told me they had a fire in their house and he offered his house for their children for a while.

As Sunday blossomed the crowds arrived along with a fair number of politicians, some in office, others running for office. I was totally surprised to see so many. There had to have been between 10 to 12 during the day.

I’m not Democrat but, like many have said, GWBush has had his time in office and it’s time to send him back home. I’m non-partisan. In the past I registered to vote as Democrat but, both parties leave something to be desired. I can’t say I’m interested in being part of a national political organization anyway. I don’t have time to volunteer yet I know in order for my concerns to be heard, I would have to find a way to get inside. I’ve been a member of cultural and arts organizations over the past and I know what work is needed from me in order to effect incremental change. Removing GWBush from office is not incremental change!
