I've arrived in Oakland after being on the road for 5 or 6 awesome weeks, the last couple weeks
or so Rae joined me on the journey back from NYC. We've lots of footage for a
fabulous video after asking people, especially wimmin, across the country: "What is christian re:bush?" We've registered over 60
voters, plus or minus, in 4 swing states and spoke with countless folks. Many
republicans told us they were not going to vote for bush this time; many told
us they were not voting period this time; many told us they were confused about
what was really the truth, giving us the opportunity to inform them of what the
truth really is.
Yes.
Many democrats
spoke of their frustrations with Kerry
and the media not covering him in any fair or accurate way; many spoke of their
fears of republican violence in their communities as well as their fears of
bush's violence in our nation and world. Several undecided voters decided to
swing our way!!! Yeah! A couple of folks parted enemies - I regret losing my
temper on those occasions.....
And several
folks in many small towns will have a topic for conversation in the many years
to come!
AND, remember,
many, many, many more folks were positive and happy to see us then those who were
disgruntled and angry!!!
Stay tuned -
we're going to figure out how to get the video on the internet for your viewing
pleasure! AND we're going back on the road Thursday or Friday - it's off to the
wee state of Ohio until voter registration deadline; and then to Florida for
the duration!
Keep the faith, work
hard, stay in tune and remember, if you want to support the work we're doing,
we do need your help. I got several tickets in NYC, ugh, not to mention costs.
Do you know in several states you have to pay postage to mail the voter
registration forms? AND you have to figure out the address where to send it to!
UFB! Another huge cost is fuel - I try to only buy biodiesel whenever it is
available - the money cost is always at least a dollar more than fuckin diesel,
around $3.50 per gallon; but the cost to our environment is minimal compared to
diesel – not to mention the wars we are waging in order to capture petroleum
from other countries.
