Hands on Politics




I worked for my candidate today

in a stuffy warehouse instead of

packing picnic for walk in woods.

I made myself call strangers on

cell phone I don't use on my own

because I believe future depends

on citizen commitment to remaking

government of, by, for all people .

Seductive trap to accept passive

role as consumer of government.

entitled to argue, lament, complain.

I worked for my candidate today.

  1. Good for you for practicing 'hands on politics,' Victoria! So important not JUST to be a 'consumer of government.'

  2. You're an inspiration, Victoria. Hard to cast aside a lovely picnic, but so uplifting for the right reasons.
