I'm back!

Okay, so I must admit that I'd lost interest in blogging, but then the media coverage of the presidential race started to bug me again! So I'm back! First, I want to share an experience I had.

A few weeks ago, I volunteered to help register voters at the St. John's Shelter for women and children. It was graduation night, so it was a very festive atmosphere. I didn't know this great program existed in our community, so learning about them was great: http://www.stjohnsshelter.org/.

But what was even more great was helping many women update their voter registration. They've moved, they've been homeless, they've been in jail, they've been through a lot. In particular, we were able to let two women who were on probation know that they were eligible to vote again. They were so excited to know that they could vote in the upcoming election; it was impossible not to be excited with these strong women who've come through so much.

And lest my brother be disappointed, I did even register one lifelong Republican. :-)
