teleidoplexHey everyone!
So, I've been keeping a rather sloppy eye on Howard Dean for a while now, and he has consistently impressed me. Because of this, and because I have come to firmly feel that only by actively participating in my government can I ever make a change for the better, I am thinking about volunteering to organize an "event"
Dean's funding isn't the best, and his support has until recently been grass roots. His webpage (www.deanforamerica.com) has info on how to organize events in your hometown, and what events are already being organized/have been organized. Until now, nothing has been done in Bloomington. If people would be interested in joining me in this, I'd love to have your help, but please don't feel obligated in any way if your politics differ from mine or Dean's.
I will be posting an update in a few days once I've contacted the people in Dean's campaign, and know what an "event" might entail, but I think it will probably be something like flyering in populated areas. Too bad I didn't think of this sooner, or I could have done some Lotus Festival flyering. Ah well.

now 35% less apolitical.
