(In honor of Shawn, who preached to the choir this morning on political action :))

I assume most of you are aware of Howard Dean. For those of you who aren't: governor of Vermont, Democrat, raising money to run for president, pro-health care, pro-environment, voted for Civil Union legislation, and very pro-choice. He has a lot of good things to say about women's issues in general.

I know most of you reading are poor college students with no money. But if you can find a couple dollars to donate to the campaign, this would be a good place to put your money. To donate, go here:

If you really can't or don't want to donate, then make sure you vote in the primary (you need to be registered as a Democrat to do so. )

I really believe that you can't afford to avoid being political right now, because with Bush in office, a lot is at stake. I didn't know a lot about this stuff just a couple of years ago, but I think most of you know that now is the time to learn if you don't know, and do something about it.
