For the first time ever I have given money to a political campaign (partially to see if the amazon.com campaign contribution system amazon.com had setup worked). I even gave Texans for Truth some money when I saw they were giving Bush a hard time about his National Guard AWOL. I think its cool you guys are volunteering for the campaign. I wonder what is the most efficient way to spend my time and energy helping make sure that Bush 43 is a one-termer. I too am anxious about the upcoming elections.

I <i>am</i> reaching people here who are glad to have received the call, and I've been able to suggest volunteering options to them instead of phone banking, heh. And there's been at least one person each shift who I've had an interesting conversation with, from the woman who was on the verge of giving birth yet still wanted to do something to the man who was feeling disconnected and apathetic yet wanted to contribute in some small way. Now if only I could take my own advice... While I am not convinced that phone banking is an effective use of my energies, I'm going to continue to do it at least one more night.
