I got another one!
Today I ran over to Target on my lunch break.

Of course, I wore my anti-Bush button (as I do everywhere). The girl who checked me out was young and pretty-- just the type of girls I'm interested in educating about choice.

Good girl! She asked me about the button. I asked her if she was registered to vote, not knowing her inclinations. She said no, but that she had just turned 18 (bingo!) and was going to go pick up a form this week.

I said, "here, let me help you out" and pulled a voter registration card out of my purse. She thought that was soooo cool that I would do that for her.

I thought a minute (since we were right on the line for 2 counties) and asked her if she lived in Dallas or Collin county. When she said Dallas, I told her I could do it right there. I pulled to the side and pulled out a green form to fill out.

Well then, of course her line suddenly got swamped. I ended up having to leave her the white form instead to send in later so I wouldn't get her in trouble with her boss, but she asked me if I was volunteering for the Democratic party. I said yes, and she got even more excited.

She said, "I don't know much between the 2 parties, but I know I want to vote Democrat."

"Smart girl!" I said, I told her she needs to come to my party a bring a few friends. She's going to SMU, so should have lots of potential girlfriend voters. I gave her the information for my party and got her e-mail. I just sent her more details a few minutes ago.

Damn that felt good!

2. You are a Marvelous Human Being.
The kid across the street - who just got a car - was looking at my "bush knew" bumper sticker. Asked for one. I'm sending one over with my kid, when she drops by his house again later today.

Great Job!

By the way, she probably deeply appreciated how considerate you were to notice when she started getting busy and to try to accommodate her. A truly Democratic thing to do.
