24. In our Earthquake Country Progressive Democratic Club

We have started pushing our members into the Red Cross volunteer cadre -- and cadre. Just like the old, east coast Democratic machines of my youth (and we won elections by giving aid to our neighbors made homeless by fires, floods, hurricanes, etc. -- I came out of a North Eastern, big city, Democratic machine)

Why do you think we have a Second Amendment - because the Founding Fathers knew all about bottoms up, trained and drilled ("well regulated") community volunteers ("militia") -- and "militia" means more then guns -- it means putting yourself in discomfort for your community.

Note - the Red Crystal avatar is the new non-sectarain emblem of the Red Cross - I am a volunteer. The handle "Coastie" comes from my service in the United States Coast Guard.
