my hero for the day is my friend lisa, of just lisa. why? because she’s gotten into the middle of the politcal frey – she’s found a candidate she believes in and she’s doing everything in her power to get him elected. now, lisa isn’t just any ol person, and she’s not living in a political place. lisa is in rural iowa taking a stand for barack obama. she’s been talking about him for awhile now, and while i haven’t gotten on the obama bandwagon fully – her post today is the kind of thing i needed to read to convince myself to get on obama-wagon. i’m still not fully convinced – kucinich is really my guy, but he’s certainly not electable – but her passionate description is enough to get most people convinced.
yeah! lisa for doing the hard work – the work that people don’t thank you for doing. yeah lisa for getting in the trenches and facing all the stuff that people throw at you down in those political trenches. it’s hard work, it’s never ending, its work that sometimes tears your heart out – but in the end it is worth it. and me personally – well – i’m currently standing on the sidelines watching it all happen – wondering if i’m going to jump in or not – but i’m grateful lisa is there. if no one else thanks you lisa – i’ll do it. thanks lisa for doing the work, i appreciate you being a part of the political process – and frankly – it’s never too late.
