It’s been a while, I’ve been gone for too long. I was active when Bush was waging illegal war, but why the need to stop by when Obama is president and life is busy? Fast forward to today, Trump is making Bush look like a soft pitch warm-up, and with a family now I have more skin in the game than ever. At the same time I have so much less time and resources to offer, so I’m here to ask ‘How can I help resist?’
I have a wife and two kids, I work two jobs. My wife and I are planning to make a family appearance at a local protest coming up, but that will mean taking time off of work for me, so it won’t be a regular thing. So far I’ve decided to do the following. I’ve devoted my 45 minute evening commute to calling my representatives. I’ve just finished writing the first round of what I plan to be weekly letters to be sent by mail. I’ve signed all the petitions on the Action list. Other than that I’m at a loss. Any other suggestions of things that I can do at a low cost, on little free time? It’s better to do something, no matter how small, than to sit feeling helpless. I’m hoping there might be some others in the same boat that might be looking for some little things they can do.
