Thursday at noon

Busy day.

Went to the Board of Elections first thing this morning to get some answers about filling out financial forms and making sure my literature had all the necessary disclaimers.

Read the news out of Springfield. Boy, I sure would be a contrarian this week if I were there! I'd vote against the entrenched block and make admendments that would irritate them all.

Why do those who make laws for us think they can exempt themselves from the same laws? I'd love, for instance, to have an exemption from the speed limit when I drove to Springfield.

When I got home I spent time with my first press release, readied an email list of media and edited a fundraiser and recruitment letter to send to my neighboring and fellow part-time instructors at Columbia.

Oh, yeah, I also bought a lottery ticket to help fund my campaign. I bought it with a dollar I had found on the ground.

  1. If, Joe, a supporter may further illuminate the ideals so often lost in the cynicism of the body politic today ...

    "In all things man is created and endowed for nobler ends ... to the highest good!" CICERO 44 BC

    "All experience is an arch wherethro’ Gleams that untravell’d world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world. ... We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." TENNYSON - Ulysses 1842
