I went and did it. And no, I am not talking about getting a piercing in the nether region, although I am guessing that would make a difference. No, I am referring to a difference that we all can make that we can tell our mothers about. I have decided to get just a little more vocal politically. The most active I’ve been in the past was to stop by a campaign site for Kerry and pick up some signage and bumper stickers; we all know how well that effort turned out! This time around I have actually dug into my pocket, removed the stuck piece of Bazooka from a wadded up sawbuck and dropped it into the coffers of my candidate of choice, Barack Obama. Okay, I am using poetic license here, I actually went to his campaign’s website and used a credit card to contribute an undisclosed amount, but that doesn’t have the same ring, now does it?
I even started a blog over there. I know, I know; I blog here on Pheasantly Fascinating just a little more often than I have to comb my hair, but it’s something. So I have given the man some money, I started a blog, I started a fundraising page, I harrased some friends via Hilda to become my “Barack Buddies” (that still sounds wrongs), what’s next?
So, that’s all I am going to say on the topic over here (maybe).

What's Next? The White House. :)
Although we don't share the same political views, good for you for contributing and supporting what you believe in.
Good for you.
(I accidently typed "goof dor you" first. Not quite the same).
TracyMichele - That's exactly what I like about our blogship (aka friendship). You and I don't have everything in common: I'm a liberal and [I'm guessing] you're a conservative. But our political views are only a part of who are. We both the love the heck out of our kids and spouses, and we both think that I am hilariously funny...what else do we need? :-)
Sari - I've been called worse! :-)
I avoid politics completely because I find it depressing but I do find you hilariously funny so I guess we can be friends, right?
