I have been asking for a year what people on here do besides post and I hear crickets, I think Host was the only one who has ever answered.
So tell us what do you do?

Pan....I've been doing all those things for six years. I also attend town meetings of my congresswoman (even though she has no vote) and town meetings of several Congressman in N. Virginia (both Dem and Repub) where I try to ask hard questions and pin them down on their votes on various issues.
I volunteered for Jim Webb's (hardly a flaming liberal) successful campaign for Senate in Virginia against that asshole George Allen.....since I have no Senator of my own to hold accountable.
I have participated and spoken at several anti-war events in DC, other than those sponsored by ANSWER, who are too radical for me.
and most fun of all, I have participated in and spoken at
Billionnaires for Bush events....highlighting the corrupt corporate influence in the Bush administration.
In case anyone is confused by Billionaires for Bush....B4B is "a grassroots media campaign using humor, street theater and press conferences to expose politicians who support corporate interests at the expense of everyday Americans."
.....
ps....as bad as things are with the WH contempt for the Constitution and the separation of powers, I am still not losing any sleep over the possibility that Bush/Cheney will somehow still be in the WH on Jan 21, 2009. There is just no plausible scenario under which that would or could happen.
