The Olympics are over and the elections are upon us. I'm sure there will be plenty of movie reviews, bad poetry, musing on this and that, and especially booze reviews between now and November 2 -- but my and Margaret's main mission between now and then is to work towards electing and releecting good people to public office.

• Here are a few locals that we like: Barbara Boxer, Gabe Castillo, Kristine Lang McDonald.
• Here are some non-locals (list taken from www.dailykos.com): Lois Murphy (PA-6)Jim Stork (FL-22):Jim Newberry (MO-7)Jeff Seemann (OH-16):Tony Knowles (AK-Sen):Stan Matsunaka (CO-4):Richard Morrison (TX-22): Nancy Farmer (MO-Sen).
• And here are some candidates who have been endorsed by Howard Dean's organization, Democracy for America: http://www.democracyforamerica.com/candidates/

If you're reading this and thinking "there must be something I can do to make a difference in the world and to be cool like Chris and Margaret", pick any one of the links above and head right to the Donate button. Or, find a race that's close to you and sign up to be a volunteer.

If you're reading this and thinking "I hate fags, poor people, nature, and blacks, so I'm voting for Bush" -- you're at the wrong site, but you should click one of the above links and make a donation too...hell, you're just stupid enough to do it!

Go read Political Motel now too. In the next few days/weeks we'll be posting information about our upcoming parties for various candidates/organizations that we'll be holding for the next 9 weeks....followed by the ultimate party on November 3 (which happens to be Chris's birthday in addition to the day after election day).
