We live in a small red town in Texas. A few weeks ago I saw an Obama lawn sign and was thrilled, other than that I had only seen a couple of McCain bumper stickers, and believe it or not I still see some Bush/Cheney stickers.
Any how, I knew this town was a red town but then after the Palin gimmick I swear 10 McCain lawn signs popped up just around our neighborhood. A mother picking up her sons at school had a McCain button, and I though WOW.
How do they get those down here so fast ? they are not giving those at my Church (Catholic)
And I know those people are not as obsessive as I am about the election. So how did they get their signs ?
I sit late at night reading as many blogs as I can, comb all the news sites, and I can spot an Obama supporter on any crowd but... I do not know where to get an Obama sign for my yard.
I mean I would gladly drive to any big city and pay for one if they ask me to donate, but seems like everyone is driving to battle ground states.
So I want a job helping Obama but I can't do the drive to New Mexico.
In fact I need a job.
When the Democratic convention ended I was inspired. I though if Michelle's father had the energy to get up and go work day in and day out, I should never complain about early mornings and getting the boys ready for school. It sounds corny but it's true, I wanted to go to bed so I can get up early and work hard the next day.
And then a week later a bunch of loud mouth bullies just started mocking everything I love about the USA, even their chants of USA seemed exclusive to them, like if you were not in the room you were not a "great american"...
ouch typing that gave me the chills.
So, I do need that job, I need to feel inspired, I need to feel like I'm building something and not just waiting for doom's day.
Send me some signs and bumper stickers, I'll deliver them by hand to anyone who emails me and lives within 30 miles of our home. Send me some bumper stickers, use me to win this country back.
So moveon.org organize me some folks in Texas, I know there are a lot of sane people here, and not only in Austin. Tell me where to go, and use me to win !
There's still a lot of people that want to, but do not know how to get involved.
Just tell us what you need !
Sincerely
Jose
