For those of you who read my post Saturday concerning my confrontation with the right wing, I wanted to let you know what has happened thus far. First, I want to thank everyone who commented. I was really blown away by your enthusiasm and words of encouragement. This was my first diary and I was extremely excited to receive over 300 comments. (My husband has been blogging for almost 2 years and never received anywhere near that many comments.) But now to discuss the good stuff.
All night and all day I waited for the reply from my angry e-mail. I had no idea what to expect. But apparently she had spread the word as I received an e-mail from another homeschooler who I haven't talked to or heard from in months. It contained a lovely little parable about when your hut is on fire, sometimes it is just you sending smoke signals to God! The first lady simply sent me a reminder for Vacation Bible School. So apparently, according to the Christian Republican right all I need is a good dose of God, Jesus and the Bible and I will get over my aversion/addiction to Barack Obama and all things liberal. Never mind that I have never attended their church or any church in many years. I simply replied to both of them to please remove my name from any and all e-mail contacts they had and thanked them for their time.
What they have no idea about is HOW FIRED UP I am now! Last night I got a taste of fighting back and I don't think I'll be taking their shit any more.
I work in a local bookstore and last week when I saw the ad for Goodnight Bush, I immediately ordered 10 and put it on the counter upon it's arrival. I have been passing out Obama buttons to anyone who asks about mine. My goal for the fall is to start a progressive homeschool group in my town where anyone is welcome so my children can have friends like them. I will personally work to turn Georgia BLUE this election and I will show them. If anyone has ideas for starting a homeschool group, please contact me. Thank you for all your support. You will be hearing from me again, I promise. Go Obama!!!
