be more politically active

In the still barely resolved VA senate/congressional race.

I really went b/c of Proposition 1 which was a “marriage act”. Pure BS. People who are in love and want to marry should be allowed to. 18 y.o . or 16 y.o. with parental permission. That’s it. I don’t care who you marry. Black, white, gay, straight.

What’s the difference?

Want to “protect marriage” ban divorce.

Signed up at One.org to help end global poverty. There are a lot of decisions being made right now at G8. Tony Blair and George W. are in private talks to determine where they stand on the African poverty and AIDS crisis. I figued I should let the G8 know where I stand on poverty if nothing else.
