Re: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! (4.00 / 5)

Who do you see as being members of "the class of '06"? Do you have specific people/candidates in mind?

I want something else, to get me through this, semi-charmed kinda life..

Yeah (4.00 / 11)

Thanks Brenda -- (4.00 / 8)

I have often siad to my husband that if I didn't have small children, I would already been running for office -- he can take whatever they dish out about me, I don't know that the little guys could, or should have to for that matter....I am seriously thinking about school board though!

Re: Thanks Brenda -- (4.00 / 5)

brinnainne, I really think you should go for it. REALLY! The school board should have ppl like you on it. Parents of all ppl, should have a greater say on such. I like the idea...hugs...

Seriously (4.00 / 4)

run for office. School board is every bit if not more important than congress.

In a microcosm of the national picture we are running two guys for Town Council here in Stephentown for the first time in about 8 years. It has been one party rule to the point of no challengers. We are changing that and it is clear that the people of this time are ready for that change. Open government with elected officials that are once again held accountable for their actions and inactions. Reform, responsibility, accountability, that's what we are about.

Run for office. You'll win if you try.

The 10,000 Things

On a previous diary (4.00 / 2)

a bunch of us old progressives pointed out that it was in the city councils and school boards where the Religious Reich made their slow, pernicious march to Take Over America For God; if progressives are going to take back this country, it's going to have to start the same way, with us encouraging younger folks to get involved in the process, no matter how boring it sounds...

Go for it!

Moi? (4.00 / 3)

What do I know about campaign managing? Luckily, at the US Congress level, we have three seats that have Austin included as part of the districts, and there are progressive candidates running in each one - two new ones who remind me a lot of the "Watergate babies" - and yes, I'm old enough to remember that rout in 74. And yes, I feel the same thing in the air as I did then.

But if Brinn wants to run for school board, she and I can both learn on the job how to do this campaigning thingy.

We are all different, but all in the same boat. --Alice
