Jetlag and my voice

Well, I took a trip and have successfully come home feeling the effects of jetlag. Actually, the effect is my constant problem of not being able to sleep when away from home. I'm beyond tired at this point. I could sleep for the next few hours, days, weeks. But I can't. This weekend is too important to me.

As you can tell, I'm all about this election and changing Congress. I'm going to do whatever I need to in order for us to get a government not out to take away our liberties and turn the world even more against us. So I'm doing get out the vote calls for moveon.org. I'm going to be volunteering for a local candidate. I'm going to be helping get out the vote on Election Day. Anything I can do, I'll do.

Now, doing the calls can be a blast, or horrible, depending on who you call. But today, I had a call that I will always remember. The calls was to Rhode Island in support of Sheldon Whitehouse. The woman I talked to was probably in her 70's. She was leaning toward voting for Mr. Whitehouse, but I think mostly she just wanted to talk. During the call, she asked why I wasn't running for office. I told her that Tracey wouldn't let me. We continued to talk, and then it was time to end the call. She said that I was very nice, and that I had a sexy voice. At this point, I started laughing and had trouble stopping.

After the call, Tracey asked me what was so funny. I told her what happened, and she had just as good a laugh as I did.

It's a call like that which makes it worth it. And if Tuesday night ends up being as good as I hope it will, everything will be worth it.

Kevin,

I recommend that you call on behalf of your local Democratic Party instead of MoveOn.org.

MoveOn.org will turn off a lot of people because of the scandal about it welcoming racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, and anti-Evangelical hate speech on its Action Forum. By hate speech I do not mean criticism of, for example, Israeli policies or pro-life politics but actual slurs directed at Jews, Blacks, Catholics, and Evangelical Christians.
