Ladybug53 drove over 2 hours to Nashville today to get voter registration supplies (courtesy of Gordon 20024) and to talk voter registration. About a 5 hour drive round trip. That’s dedication. Activism in action!! A role model for all of us.
She left with T-shirts, pens, registration forms, one clipboard and was headed across the street to a dollar store to buy more clipboards when I last saw her.
We talked for 2 hours about the ins and out of voter registration and I shared as many tips with her that I could think of. Things I've learned from Dr. Ferguson Reid Sr.
Ladybug53 seems fearless to me and is really to roll. She has two big events she wants to register voters at toward the end of the month.
Tonight she’s going to a comedy club to see the Liberal Redneck and if the club allows it, she’s taking her clipboards in and registering voters while she’s there. I can’t wait to hear how it went.
Oh, and she brought me flowers too. She said she made sure to get a bunch with some orange ones. I have met her once before at a meet-up and it was so great to see her again.
She gets to see this guy live tonight. Don’t judge by the accent, he is wicked smart!! And too funny!
Have you registered anyone to vote lately? Tell us about it.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossack’s nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heat waves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
