Wednesday, 28 July 04 :: campaigning!

jodi writes about getting involved with the current presidential campaign.. a great post, really. and i'm so jazzed there is another blogger jumping on the campaign trail.. when october hits and the seemingly 24 hour days and constant rush of adrenaline have started its nice to know i'm not going to be alone in blogland.

here is what i said in her comments..

yet another great post jodi! just one thing. the other races that are going on.. the less sexy ones.. the local races.. the positions that most folks don't about, the ones that have an affect on your daily life, the economic climate for your city, town, county, state. folks in those campaigns need the help as much as the national campaign does.. in someways more, because their (okay, OUR) candidates aren't getting the press that the presidential candidates are. we don't get nearly the same amount of 'earned' media. so, folks, contact your local democratic party, ask how you can help your neighbor get elected to the office they are running for.. its not as sexy, but you are much more likely to get to meet the candidate :)

You are so right about getting involved in the local elections.

The only way we can make a change is if we get out there and make a difference. So do something.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
