I am WORKING MY ASS OFF FOR YOU!
( 2004-10-29 @ 11:43 p.m. )
Ok so I WAS NOT going to cover up my Birthday/Christmas wish list, but my apologies, I have to. I have something important to say, you want the wishlist? It's HERE.
Allright, I am going to speak out, this may piss some of you off, because I realize that not everyone shares my political views BUT please, PLEASE respect that this is MY diary, and I write here, so don't be immature and flame me for it.
I have maintained a bi-partisan writing approach, but SO YOU KNOW, I am a Democrat, I WILL BE voting for Kerry/Edwards. What I have come here to say however isn't that.
I have been WORKING MY ASS OFF, ALL OF IT strictly volunteer work, making phone calls 5 and 6 hours a day, going door to door 6 hours, holding signs on streetcorners for 6 hours, going to political rallies...you name it.
Like just this week, I have gone place to place, Tues and Weds it was 5 hours on streetcorners with signs, during which a reporter talked to me and took pictures on both days saying it was amazing to see a young woman of the punk culture out activley protesting Bush. Yes, I was holding a sign that said "The Real Terrorists Are In The White House" yea, that WAS me, don't like it? I'm so sorry, go vote Tuesday and hope your vote cancels out mine.
Tomorrow morning, I am up at 10 am to go do signs for 6 hours and then I am off to meet Senator Edwards at a rally. Then Sunday and Monday more signs and then Tuesday, election Day I am up at 7 am damnit, to do signs until 2 in the afternoon, and then home to shower, change, vote myself then from 3 to 7 I work at the polls. Yes, I WILL have the authority to report voter fraud and supression, and DO NOT tell me it isn't happening, I have been working INSIDE this election, I HAVE SEEN IT! And you BET YOUR ASS I will report it, oh yes, those Democratic Attorneys will be there backing my ass up, so don't even try it, I will call the authorities on your ass. Then I will help safely transport ballots.
What I am getting at here is this, oen thing plain and SIMPLE, if I can WORK MY ASS OFF, get 6 hours sleep in four days then YOU CAN GET UP OFF YOUR ASS and VOTE! I am WORKING LIKE THIS SO THAT YOU CAN VOTE! Seriously, I am doing this for every eligible voter out there, and believe me, there is no fucking excuse, I AM NOT catching hell and practically being dis-owned by a family full of Bush supporters so you can decide you don't feel like going to the polls on November 2nd.
THERE IS NO FUCKING EXCUSE PEOPLE! I love my country, and NO I DONT CARE who you vote for, I'm not here to change your opinon, I am here to get your ass in gear. If I can find time to work my ass off, you can spare a hour, PLEASE DO NOT let me down ok?
Thanks, now I am exhausted, and that's all I have to say, except for some peopel REALLY are total assholes, and some people are fucking amazing.
Goodnight.
P.S. And YES allow me to toot my own horn, because I NEVER do that, but personally? I AM DAMN PROUD of all this work I have done, and looking back, I will KNOW I made a difference, and if we win this, I will know I helped make it happen. so Yes, for once, I *AM* proud of myself.
