My last joyous campaign was my first. [View all]

Although I was a very keen Reagan Democrat in the 80's. I regret my feelings tremendously and worked to elect Obama working the phones, attended meet ups and gave 20 bucks nearly every month for over a year. Lived and died with each 538 poll.

But now I'm tired. My hubby is suffering from Dementia. Joy is pretty much gone. Money definitely is as I'm losing my job to younger singers.

I'll be voting and debating Trump supporters on Facebook and at family functions, but it will be draining. He is truly a black hole. I hope we survive. Hillary will have to get some of Sanders people or at least better people dispensing emails asking for contributions. They all sound like I'm not ever going to do enough for a team that is not doing better at messaging and dealing with the new electorate of angry and unemployed people like me. WE DON'T HAVE MONEY. Giving $8.00 to end Citizens United is hysterical.

Anyway. I want her to win very much. I love Obama and his whole family. I want them to take up residence for as long as I'm on this earth. Is that too much to ask?
