I've been thinking..

Today I started thinking about all the politicians I have seen in the last two days and I came up with a new stat: the US Congressman, US Senate Candidate, State Senator, State Rep's, Gubernatorial Candidates, local mayoral candidates, Republican and Democrat Common Council Candidates, it was the local candidates who never thanked me for inviting them. And, truth be told, it was some of the Democrats who never said thank you, not the Republicans. Everyone else, Congressman Himes, State Senator Bob Duff, Merrick Alpert, Mayor Don Malloy, they all took the time to thank me. Not that I wasn't doing my job as secretary of the event, but to find and come up and thank me individually made me proud of each and every one of them, thats all. People who know who put them in office and make sure to thank them get a higher mark, in my book, then those who just expected to be there. Maybe if more people thanked each other and asked what can they do to help each other, we would all be in a better place.

Finding sponsors for porta potties

Now I start the hunt for someone to sponsor the porta potties that a friend needs for an event August 22nd. And guess what, I may have found someone! Spent an hour out in the sun today, where the temperature is in the 90's, all in the name of politics! I have to make some more phone calls, maybe it will be a good day after all.

A Sunday afternoon with nothing to do..

Well we thought that we would have nothing to do today, should do some much needed work on the computer. But instead Mike got a call from someone who needs 3 porta-potties! By August 22nd! So now, even though we already called several people to try to get sponsors, I will be calling several more people tomorrow to find out if they can help. Because Mike is a politician people ask for help and expect it. Not that they shouldn't, but we were asked to kick in $300 for the porta-potties and then make sure that one of them be handicapped too. And this event coincides with another event that we must attend, again because it is political, at the same time! At least it's only 1 1/2 miles away, but most Democrats have to be at both events!

Why I decided to start this blog

It seems that everyone has a reason for getting involved in politics, my main reason is my husband, Michael K. Geake who holds an elected position for the city of Norwalk. As he is running, again, for Common Council at Large, this means that we get to go to every event in the city, since he has to get elected by the whole city, just like the mayor. So, this shall be an interesting blog. Hang on for some fun!
