My partner of thirty years came home Friday afternoon after being on a demonstration line against cuts to the developmentally disabled by the State of New Mexico.
The man I speak about is a Kossack, but has never written a diary. We discuss things we have discovered on the Great Orange Satan almost every day. He is an intelligent man, but a humble man.
It was a moderate day as he and others stood in the heat of the desert sun and begged for Gov. Susanna Martinez to stop the cuts to services she is proposing for the developmentally disabled.
He was very late getting home. I was beginning to worry a bit, but not to the point of even mild panic.
When I asked him how the rally went, he said, "Pretty well. The Govenor knows we are not giving up."
I placed dinner in front of us and he said, "Sorry I was gone so long. I went downtown and changed my political affiliation for voting from Independent to Democrat. I also volunteered for Poll duty."
30 years I have known him. 30 years and longer he has been an Independent. I pretty much think that the DNC 2012 Convention, which he watched (as well as the RNC Convention), was enough to help him decide where his true political beliefs are really stacked.
So, I am still gobsmacked and I gave him a huge hug!
One down, millions to go!
