Reply #14: Let me list some of them [View All]

Thanks to the outsourcers and my significant loss of income, I haven't given much money lately. Instead I have....

Volunteer: Campaigns and liberal causes.

Shopping: Local and family owned businesses whenever I can. Family owned ethnic restaurants are the best, friendlier service and better food than the crap you get at McDonalds, and yes, there are delis that serve food fast.

I spend at least one day a week with a friend who is a stay at home mom. It's adult activity evening and involves drinking, hanging out, and using language you wouldn't use in front of children. Keeps her sane.

Demonstrations: Marched against Bush several times, attended an anti-Klan rally (we outnumbered the Sheetheads and Nazis 3000 to 30)

Attended Paul Wellstone's last debate in person. Had a question ready too but time ran out.

Was a local DFL delegate and have met my State Rep, my State Senator, and two of the people on the school board.

Spent the entire day working at the polls this last election. Don't know if that counts as volunteering since I got paid, but here it is.

I'm sure I'll think of more later.
