I'm fed up. Partisan politics. The war on women. The constant opposition to anything and everything. I've had enough.
And I'm sick and tired of sitting here, reading blogs and diaries, following along on social media, and watching my Lawrence, Rachel, and Keith.
I want more. And I'm going all in.
It all starts at home. I checked out the redistricting in California, and I'm in the new 39th. Who's my representative? One Ed Royce. I'll be writing more about him in the future, but let's just say he has THREE MILLION in cash on hand, largely funded by the financial industry. Guess who sits on the Committee on Financial Services? Shocking, I know.
So with a few quick searches, I found his opponent, one Jay Chen. He had the following to say on International Women's Day:
Women hold up half the sky, but are still subject to vile attacks in our own country for merely speaking their mind. On this day let's increase our resolve to ensure full equality and respect for our better halves.
Now, I'm not 100% sure where this guy stands on every issue. But I shot him an email expressing my desire my help, and some questions on the issues. I can't wait to hear back from him.
I don't know about you fine folks here in this wonderful community. But I've finally had enough, and I've decided I want some action.
More and better Dems, right? Well expect to hear more from me, because I want to get involved and make a difference. I want to help where I can and get us better representation.
What are YOU doing to help us get there?
