I used to have a lot of blogging buddies on there but I felt it was a waste of time - most of my family have political leanings diametrically opposed to mine or they play those stupid games. Usually the two groups go together.<br /><br />I get all kinds of Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124480884494186487.post-53580832594217183732010-07-21T12:02:55.233-04:002010-07-21T12:02:55.233-04:00I have had similar frustrations with facebook and ...I have had similar frustrations with facebook and I have pretty much given up on it as a feasible forum for trying to get people to think. Or act. Maybe that makes me sound complacent (though I do contribute to my causes and write to politicians, both of which seem to me more, I don't know, constructive (?) than joining a group on facebook). I used to write to newspapers but the last one IJenniferhttp://www.jensrealia.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124480884494186487.post-40750780271947415712010-07-20T12:45:21.153-04:002010-07-20T12:45:21.153-04:00Interesting.

I believe the key is that we must first believe our effort no matter how small or large is making an impact.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237538988856751173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124480884494186487.post-60267241478816590132010-07-20T11:37:36.832-04:002010-07-20T11:37:36.832-04:00Oh, I have my excuses too.

I also campaign, make those phone calls, and sign petitions but I could do much more.

I'm helping out on two campaigns this season. We discussed the limited pool of volunteers and what makes some people get off their butts and actually do something, as opposed to those who will "get active" on-line and donate or forward form letter complaints to their Congressmen, but not do anything else. <br /><br />VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124480884494186487.post-17220763659262798742010-07-19T23:47:44.188-04:002010-07-19T23:47:44.188-04:00I wouldn't go to a town meeting if you paid me...I wouldn't go to a town meeting if you paid me - especially not in Texas.
