A POLITICAL THURSDAY...

Woke up today, voted online for the Student Body's election for the Conservatives on Campus

They are trying to advocate Student fee being voluntary instead of compulsion (currently, the funds are collected and distributed to different causes and clubs, some of which might be against a student's conscience)

I guess I woke up and the political animal in me came out too

It's been asleep for a while, and the "Werewolf" hadn't been under any full moon if you catch what I am saying...

While trying to drive to Church, the police sealed the streets a block from where I live and the Bomb Squad was there too and I wonder what that was all about

Called the Governor's OFFICE at (916) 445-2841 while I was driving to oppose and veto two bills

The day before, on Wednesday, a friend of mine met with the major of my city asking him for us to meet a candidate for State Assemby...long story short, nearly two years ago, our current liberal Assemblywoman has not been supportive for a Veteran's project that my friends and I were trying to introduce and has been very unprofessional to us in their attitudes, run around and even lying to us about dates to introduce bills

So now this friend of mine (who ran for City Council Last year, if you were following my Xanga then) and his former Overseeing Campaign Manager (AKA 'Gideonrecon') will be campaigning to some extent perhaps for "the other guy" as the "season" comes around this fall (we'll see)

There's many other stuff that's on my plate, but my busy schedule have been hindering me from them;

I believe that as a Christian and as a Citizen I am compelled to be involved in my local community, to know my neighbor, to know what my local leaders are doing (and hold them accountable) and perhaps make a small contribution to the neighborhood

Hopefully, in the next couple of month I can share a bit more as potential projects unfold...

For tonight, I have to try to finish my JOHN LOCKE's Political Theory readings though...

IT's getting late.

Hey, sorry I haven't updated for a while. (again.) *sheepish expression*

Yeah, Community Kitchen, well, it's a little hard to explain, but once every month, my church volunteers to help out there. I guess that wasn't so hard to explain, huh? LOL. It's pretty fun, and I've been going there for, what, maybe 1 1/2, 2 years? Something like that. It's pretty fun, actually. I've met some new people, especially the cooks, and they're a very nice and friendly bunch!

Talk to ya later,

Who is the person in the middle everyone is pointing at?

Did you ever find out why the bomb squad was there?

Did you know if you mention words like bomb they might be picked up by government sky spy just to check it out. I read once there are certain words that alert.  Maybe some of the goverrnment will read our sites and get saved, and we'll have government revival. yeah!
