15. See that's what I'm hoping to do
the other night at a meetup for a state representative who's running for office, a woman came and deputized 15 people to be voter registrars. She said she has NEVER deputized as many people as she has so far in 2004 and she's been doing this for FIFTY YEARS (she's in her 80s).

I've registered sooooo many people to vote. People all over this state are doing it. I remember when Dean was in it, man we were on FIRE here and we stayed mobilized.

I think Gore was 39% of the popular vote here. SO if we can get it to where Kerry gets say, 45-50% of the popular vote here, man. Man, that's good.

So I think I'll keep chipping away. I don't buy into this "it doesn't matter anyway" bull. It might be true for NOW, but I'm gonna make sure it isn't true for long.

And a few years from now, I hope rethugs here are saying to each other, "ah what does it matter? Texas is gonna go blue anyway, man."

Ah. Sweet music to my ears.
