Yesterday afternoon I was busy typing away at my computer when my friend Dave walked into the restaurant I was in. I had called him the previous night asking if he was interested in going to see our representative John Larson. When he said he was willing to go, I immediately went home, got dressed to the nines, and got back into his car and drove off.
Once we got to the community college, it was... um... bigger than we we expected. It was still a single building, but it was in kind of a strange, curvy shape. We had to go about a bit, but ultimately we found where representative Larson was talking.
Now to the point: When I sat down, I wasted no time in getting to my theme. I was wondering how the sequester would affect me and my house.
After the main session was over, I went up to him and said that I was a transgender individual, and that I was still very concerned about LGBT people, particularly in the south and west.
So, what is the point? I got off my rump. I got into my friend's car. Despite a crazy situation, I got to where my representative was speaking. And I spoke to him, not once but twice, despite my having a stroke.
YOU CAN TOO.
Everywhere across the country, representatives hold town meetings. When they get there, all manner of people show up. From the very richest to the very poorest. From the most conservative to the most liberal, and every shade in between. There's only one person who might not show up.
You.
C'mon. Be proud. When your representative has a town or city meeting, show up and speak up.
