I'm sitting at home on a Sunday evening when the phone rings. My wife answers and I hear her giving the caller a hard time. Is she berating a telemarketer again? Then she says: "I'm sorry I gave you a New York attitude." And she hands me the phone.
I say hello and the caller introduces himself as Charlie Brown from California. I'm a little stunned. He tells me that he is calling to thank me for contributing to his campaign and he was intrigued that someone from New York would be donating money to his campaign.
I had sent him $10.01 in response to reading this diary by dengre
CA-04: Brown Hits Doolittle Hard on Abramoff, Forced Abortion and Sex Trafficking
We had a nice conversation. I told that him I was sure he would do a great job representing his district but that all us Democrats had an interest in building the caucus and taking over the House. I talked to him about my family being originally from New Orleans, etc., etc.
Anyway, it's dinner time. Gotta run. Give money to Charlie -- links in the diary above.
Have a great evening.
Thanks, Charlie. Go Fighing Dems!!!
