Okay, I think we all get the political reality that the Republicans and Nelson are heartless bastards.
My progressivism goes beyond the political ups and downs and the meta stuff -- just like I bet it does for most everyone on this site.
The Front Page post about people going hungry ... NO.
Just NO.
I'll get back to the clowns in Washington, but in the meantime, we just went to our pantry to create 6 bags of groceries for our local food bank.
I am calling on EVERY Kossack who can, to do the same, NOW! No, not tomorrow, NOW!
Make a bag as big or small or as many as you can -- NOW!
See below for where you can take that food.
Do not continue blogging. People are hungry and need your progressive values to drive you to help NOW.
Come on, there definitely IS a can of tuna and a box of Mac and Cheese in there ... We had an entire BAG of canned veggies and beans!
Make up the bags NOW! And here is a site that will help you drive them there, tomorrow.
Feeding America
We can deal with the jerks in Washington, tomorrow, but today, if you dare to call yourself a Progressive --- raid that pantry and put the bags in front of your front door or in your car for delivery, tomorrow.
And, progressive parents:
I just talked through the situation with my son as we were putting food in bags and his reaction was to text his friends to do the same. Interestingly, we are in an extremely conservative section of KY, but his friends started texting back that they'd acted and gotten their parents to do help them. Gotta love middle schoolers for their desire to help others!
I also sent out a HELP to our minister. It will be a MAJOR push in our church to ask for bags of groceries, this Sunday, and every Sunday until unemployment benefits are re-established.
I ask you. What can you do, NOW?
Do it.
