Thanks to those who donated to help me mail letters in my precinct for Tuesday's primaries. I think you'll enjoy my story!!!
Went to the post office w/my oldest son (10) to mail 365 letters in a big box. Everyone is line was asking about RP so I was happily going on and on and on...I get up to the counter and the lady says I need to buy stamps, no machine there and no discount for a one time mailing. Then she tries to give me a bunch of flower stamps...um, no! I need LIBERTY BELL stamps! :) The line behind me giggles. Then I got sit at a table by the door so everyone coming in/out sees me and my 10 yo and I start stamping all the envelopes.
THEN...a guy I don't know comes up and offers to help. That's cool.
THEN...a well dressed businessman comes up and says "Will you sign this petition..." and stops. He asks what we are mailing when he sees my RP button on my jacket. I tell him and he gets excited. His petition is for a RP Repub, endorsed by RP, to go on our ballot and compete against our incumbent neocon in our district. I sign and take a few to get signatures myself. He gives me his business card...he's a ballot access coordinator for ronpaul2008.com and a national delegate contender!
It was all just awesome! I'm in a very RURAL area and for the post office of all places to get so much exposure and excitment was super cool.
In all my excitement I decided to go buy some Absolut to celebrate last night and I backed over an old lady in the parking lot. She's okay, just bumped her out of the way...she said she was fine anyway so that was my day...
So that's why I wasn't on yesterday! Had quite a day!!!! And the REVOLUTION LIVES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
