Random Thoughts

It really does bother me a little bit that I am going to miss the caucus on the 5th. It shouldn’t bother me, as I know that such a small percentage of people even bother to show up for the caucuses. On the local and state level, when it comes to politics, this is one of the few ways that the average person can make their feelings and issues known to the party. For me, I want to start networking with people who I will eventually consider getting involved in my site and its background activities, if that ever comes to fruition. I have some things in mind, but not sure where I will go with all that. For one, I was thinking about asking one or two state representatives to take a few minutes to talk with me. I know, I know: Who am I to ask for their time? I do know that at least one will be happy to talk with me. I know that he will be receptive because he writes us personal replies to our emails to his office, and he calls the house and leaves messages when our letters point out that we disagree with his policies. I have run into him around the city a time or two and we talked in passing, though not so much about politics. When he writes or calls, he asks to discuss our points of contention, and asks for the time to explain his position on things. He left us his personal cell number on one of the calls, though that doesn’t mean we are connected enough to have him make time on his schedule to talk. However, I am speculating that at some point in time, I can get five minutes of his time for an interview and to throw my thoughts in his direction, and vice versa.

Only time will tell. Stay tuned…
