Well, it's a weekend day, and I told myself I wasn't going to try to get anything done on weekend days, but I woke up at 5:30 and it was quiet so I finished off the vignette. It's 2700 words, which is fine for the vignettes. This means tomorrow I can start the chapter which is the penultimate chornologically and the second long chapter. I have some fresh ideas for the chapter, which had been giving me problems formerly.
Yesterday I went to the Town Hall held by my representative and his two neighbor representatives. That would be Sam Farr, Zo Lofgren, and Mike Honda. Zoe Lofgren is the chair of the California Democratic delegation and Mike Honda is the vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee, and this is a good sign. The main topic was the Social Security hassle, but Sam pointed out that it was a diversionary tactic, that the real crisis was i Medicare, which really is going to run out of funds soon. And they all were quite clear on the ideological basis for these privatization movements, and very strong about opposing the Republicans and being effective. There was no wishy washy stuff in that room.
My old friend Ray Greuniech challenged them: "These Town Halls are really effective. But what about taking them into other districts besides your own? Those districts are the ones that can change the Republican majority, not these. We're already won. . ." and Zoe Lofgren said that the DNC was meeting next Wednesday and that would be a topic of discussion at that meeting, thanks for the idea.
See what I mean? There's hope. These guys are doing their job, they have open eyes and open ears, and it's worth fighting alongside them.
I don't want to be the White Rose. I want to be the guys who win.
