Dear friends, colleagues, supporters, activists,<br><br>
Many thanks to all who pitched in and helped with my Congressional
Campaign, we learned a lot and I'm glad we did it. I hope what we did
will make it easier to mobilize people into a stronger political force in
the future. There are plenty of campaigns, efforts that need
support. I generally want to do "everything," but the
Congressional Campaign forced me to be more focused and let go of trying
to do "way more than I could..." Now I'm obliged to
choose again where to put my time, energy, resources and that is not an
easy task. I do have certain responsibilities (like fetching the
signs in from where they were deployed in transit corridors) and showing
up in court (to avoid additional jail time and hefty fines) and I did
sign up to be a delegate to the Continental Congress 2.0
(<a href="http://www.the99declaration.org/">
http://www.the99declaration.org/</a> ) taking place in Philadelphia,
alongside another national gathering for the Occupy Movement
(<a href="http://www.occupynationalgathering.com/">
http://www.occupynationalgathering.com/</a> ) during the first week of
July. I'm also committed to helping with the premiere of the new
9/11 Explosive Evidence- Experts Speak Out (See http://www.ae911truth.org
) in July, as well as a June 23rd premiere of a documentary, A Noble Lie,
Oklahmoa City 1995, about the Oklahoma City Bombing on in Berkeley
(<a href="http://www.bfuu.org/events">http://www.bfuu.org/events</a> ).
<br><br>
Of course, with my three sons at home now, there are other demands upon
me, such as making blueberry waffles this Sunday, giving them time and
attention this summer. (Now that the youngest is in college, it is rare
to<br>
have them all home at the same time. I also want to
visit my mom, who is getting on in years.<br><br>
There are also events coming up to push for Single Payer Healthcare, a
local resolution to support a 28th Amendment to abolish corporate
personhood, the annual monetary reform conference, efforts to rein in the
growing police state, efforts to shut down nuclear power in California,
efforts to prevent an impending war with Syria and Iran.<br><br>
Today, though, I will just work on waffles, collecting yard signs (I'm
going to clean off the ones that I find and store them for possible reuse
in 2014), writing thank-you letters, catching up with the unending pile
of tasks at hand. If you have one or more yard signs that you would
like me to pick up- please let me know (and give me your address).
If you would like to accompany me on the yard sign hunt, let me know
(I'll be passing by Castle Rock, so an opportunity for a hike is also a
tempting possibility. (If you want waffles & to help with yard
signs/hike - aim to be at my home at 11:30 am...)<br><br>
