Why?

Meant to do this before.

Why am I in Iowa? What am I doing? Let's make this quick and dirty.

I'm a John Edwards supporter from Oakland, California. I've got family in Iowa, and I wanted to come check out this "democracy" thing. (Where about 100,000 people have an enormously disproportionate effect on the race for leader of a country of 300 million, not mention the "free world" or whatever we're gonna call it when Bush is done.)

Why do I dig JDE? I believe out of control corporations have taken the reigns of our democracy. Don't take my word for it, read David Sirota. He's much smarter than me. http://action.credomobile.com/sirota/2007/11/corporate_interests_have_liter.html

I'm gonna include a picture of Sirota--or as my father now knows him, the Head Gay--and me soon. Oh, a pic of Edwards and me too. I had one lucky week, lemme tell ya.

And while I'm here for Edwards, I'm really here for me! (Maybe I should incorporate? I'm good at this selfish thing.) What I mean by that is that I'm here to learn, and I don't think learning means working for Edwards every second of every day. We shall see.
