"Voluntarily" conflicted--HELP!

[blondeatlast]

Where can my efforts be put to the best use?

I want to see Shadegg (my critter), Kyl, and Tom Horne all sent packing and I believe there is a very real possibility to do all three.

So I'm really quite torn at this point. Since it impacts me most directly, I'm leaning to volunteering for Slade Mead (Supt. of schools candidate; I have a 3rd grader and Mead wants to do away with AIMS as well as other good stuff), but damn, I REALLY want to see Kyl defeated in shame. I mean, REALLY want to send him packing. I can almost taste it!

My obligations and health severely limit the amount of time I can spare so I want to get the best bang for the buck. Can anyone suggest a way to help me dicide/tell me who needs me most/who will put me to the best use?

It's nice to be so motivated, but it's quite a quandary at the same time.

Thanks--if no sooner, I will see you at the VICTORY PARTY in November! :bounce:

1. I really like both Slade and Herb Paine

Pederson hmmmmm not sure about him

if you think Slade is the most important then put your energies there

2. He didn't support antiwar rally, so I don't know what his position is.

3. I want Kyl out really badly. He has been

moving into a position of power, right next to the Majority leader Frist.

Shadegg is only one of 435+ or so. He's mine too, so I'd like him to go down as well.

But Kyl is one of 100 Senators, and one who's been coming into a position to have way too much influence.

And I heard Horne say something dumb on NPR this morning. So I'd love to see him out as well.

5. Missed Horne this morning

can you give me the jist of what he had to say? There are many issues facing educators these days.

9. I believe it was in regard to the attempts by the GOP state legislators

to redirect the funds/fines that were imposed on the state for not having an ELL program in place.

Napolitano asked that the money be appropriated for the ELL program.

4. rotate your weekends

that's what I'll probably do, volunteer to walk for a different candidate every weekend.

6. Slade

You seem to be really admiring of him and you have a more personal stake in that race. I just think you should go where your heart is. If you go with something you feel lukewarm about it will show in your efforts.

7. or, you could become a PC

and just focus all your efforts into turning out Dems in your precinct.

8. I want Kyl out soooooo bad

And I am impatiently waiting for Pederson to
get some press.

It is already the end of March! Pederson - hello????

I'm like you - most of my time is spoken for.
I may have to stick to the phones, but hope to do more.

We have to figure out a way to get the dems in this state
to get out and vote. That might be the best way for us
to spend our time. I really believe that AZ is blue - a purplish blue, but that's
a good start. Now just to motivate the voters.
