It's time... once more!!!
Earlier this week, I was so excited having a brief meeting at a town hall with my representative John Larson. I said my bit - but now it's your turn.
I can't tell you adequately how much this will mean to you. All I can say to you is to give it a try. If you are prevented by work or distance, send an e-mail. Even if your representative is initially opposed to what you have to say, one more person - one more voter - may make him or her think twice.
As for me, I'm for freedom. Freedom to meet. Freedom to marry. Freedom to walk the streets unaccosted. Freedom to share a dinner without being kicked out. Freedom to make love without the police ramming down your door. Freedom to visit your sick partner. Freedom to say a final farewell.
This is what gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender deserve.
This is what we should demand.

ezs note: Holy moly! When "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." went off the air, many people thought Jim Nabors had disappeared. (at least I did) But he didn't. He married longtime lover Stan just recently. Congratulations, Jim and Stan! May you have a long, happy life together!

I did it last night... SO CAN YOU!!!
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.

You can be another blizzard!
As I sit here tapping away on my computer, it is snowing. Really snowing. As I look out the window, the road, which is normally fairly busy, is barren, with the exception of the occasional plow truck.
Then there are the snowflakes.
When you first see a snowflake, you are normally a bit nonplussed. Sure they're pretty, but... they're so tiny. Can't amount to much, can they?
Take a look out my window and you'll sing a different song.
At first glance, you may feel like the tiny snowflake. Sure, you can write to your Congressperson about issues you feel strongly about
