I got this list from a poll question at pollingpoint.com . It reminded me of just how much more there is to be done politically than I usually consider. Perhaps I'm not qualified for some of the above and like everyone else, I have real reasons for not doing some of the other items... Still, it's just reasonable to remind ourselves from time to time of the range of activities that can be done and ways in which we might be able to contribute.

3. No I'm not interested, I'm just here to meet liberal chicks.

Just kidding.

Actually I'm proud that I've done 10 on your list. I wish I would have done more. I don't necessarily mean more on this list, I just wish I was better at enlisting others to get involved. That seems to be my toughest challenge, trying to get other people to care enough to get to work instead of just sitting around and complaining.
