| Shelby and I finally got the John Kerry T-shirts that we ordered from KerryGear.com in today's mail. Shelby got the "Vintage Ringer"; I satisfied myself with the more generic "John Kerry T-Shirt". I sure hope that the people responsible for Kerry's merchandise fulfullment aren't involved elsewhere in his campaign, as delivery was sloooow, about ten days. You'd think that they'd want to get shirts and signs and other campaign tchotchkes into people's hands as quickly as possible -- especially now!
Here in Democrat-safe California, I don't think that our show of support will change many hearts and minds, but at least it'll give me something to wear as I walk the dog around the neighborhood, past the house down the street with the Hummers in the driveway and the Bush-Cheney signs on the lawn. At the same time that we were buying T-shirts, we also donated some cash to the Democratic National Committee and the MoveOn PAC, along with some extra money to the Sierra Club (because if Bush does get re-elected, the Valle Vidal and other wildlands will need all the help they can get). Hopefully our dollars are doing some good out there, buying television ads or mailers in some swing state. (And yes, we did re-register to vote after we moved back to California!) |  |
I like the T-shirts!
and its a good point about donating to the Sierra Club. Not only will wildlife be in danger, but so will our National Parks and our historic resources!
