Today was a good day!
Spoke to several hundred Union Members. Members from around the state. Democratic Leaders...all are in agreement. BBV is a menace to our Democracy. I have several hundred more supporters than before I went. Teach 10 to teach 10 more was my mantra all day. Several Union guys were well informed about BBV...they signed the nominating petition...once they did...others were following right along. This is snowballing...I had a phone call last night from a Woman on the Eastside...a Republican...she called me a "local hero". I have trouble with that. I told her I am no hero...only a guy who wants to make a difference in the lives of others. She said no Andy...you truly are a hero you have the guts and courage to do this thing that has to be done. To tell you the truth...I am uncomfortable being called a "Hero". I am just doing what needs to be done. I am just me.

Then my sister called said I was "crazy" and now I am bummed. God I dislike my family.

2. Mind if I suggest a Christmas gift for your sister?
A paper bag she can put over her head :evilgrin:



You're fighting the good fight, Andy, and you know it :-)

5. We can't choose our family like we get to
pick our friends! :hi:

Glad you had such a progressive day! And we really are all hungry for "heroes"...so it doesn't take a "Superman" to fit the bill!

Great to hear of your day! :) Andy!

The Guy James Show was great with David Corn. :kick:
