Time to pull out the Obama swag to remind Democrats of what we CAN DO against all odds. I was at Orchard Supply Hardware today (you do know all those stores are closing? Sad…) anyway, the cashier—a young black woman–saw my shirt and said, “That’s so refreshing! I sure do miss him…”
If you’re not doing something to help with this campaign, then you don’t really have the right to complain.
I detest phones and I’m not fond of knocking on strangers’ doors. So this afternoon I dropped by the Marin (County) Democrats in San Rafael, CA, wrote a few postcards and brought two packs to do at home.
There are many easy volunteer opportunities within your reach, from phone banking to voter registration to texting to writing postcards; surely you fit in somewhere.
Vote on November 6!

You’re the best 👊🏽
HUSSEIN (A Poem Written in Honor of the 2008 Presidential Election)
Chief Obama
now large as Oprah
came from behind the curtain of poor men
sashayed his way onto a stage
stepping up to the plate
he caught the heart of our nation
and reeled us in with his open face
There’s nothing secret about you!
African roots roll off our tongue; Bah-rah-k-k
born black and raised mulatto; plank
between pride
and fear
“We are who we’ve been waiting for!”
You told us this
is our time…
From that historic dawn
throughout the broad hope of day
way into a scary eve
we placed those bets
casting our lot
voted loud
words we chanted
heard around this world…
Yes we did!
