I was hitting south Austin when the top of the hour news said that Howard Dean was going to be speaking in East Austin in just minutes.

I called to say I would be late and headed to the place by myself. I carried my new Freeper tool.... a tiny camcorder.

the T-shirt I was wearing to the meeting was a 2nd amendment sister shirt with an American flag saying SELF DEFENSE is a Basic Human Right.

I figured that would get me mugged so slipped on a Far side shirt over it and on my way.

I entered the few hundred of hard core Democrats nervously and slipped up as close as I could to be able to catch Howard Dean on the camcorder.

I wrote down what the other speakers said and it is frightening. I applauded and yelled with the crowd and the ones around me thought I was a "good ole dem"

I got about 9 minutes of Howard Dean recorded and then slipped out before I started mouthing off.

1st speaker is the guy running against Tom Delay.

His name is Rick Morrison? Pretty sure that is correct. he said that it wasn't the time to take off or take naps.

#1. if you have vacation time, then tell the boss that you are going to take it during early voting and use it to take people to vote.

#2. DONT take NAPS... if you have time for a nap, go to the HQ and get phone lists and spend the time calling.

#3. Politics is NOT a spectator sport (my hubby says NOT a game) Get involved.

#4. Each of the people there have

Time

Talent

Treasure

Maybe they only have one of three or all three but NOW is the time to GIVE to the candidates/party

It is time to SACRIFICE! **

** Rick Morrison is willing to let them cut off his arm(his sacrifice) if it will help democracy in the US. (isn't that sweet?) LIAR!

FREEPERS ALERT:

This is what THEY are doing to get the vote out..... What are YOU doing?

contact your County party to help phone lists, walk the neighborhood, volunteer with local candidates.... there is a million things to do, your turn to help.

Thanks for your report Bat Lady. I wish I could have made the meeting today, but it just didn't work out.

You should have given them a Dean scream.

Didn't you mention they had their own delusions about an axis of evil?
