Civic Involvement
Max and I have been really busy for the last couple of days...and will be for the next few days to come. We are helping out on a congressional campaign. We're working with a team of about 30 other young people in a lovely, old building.
The civic-minded young people waved campaign signs on street corners, passed out literature and talked to voters door to door, and made thousands and thousands of phone calls. They sit in the elegant conference room and dutifully call voters for hours on end.
Max has talked to people who have been friendly, people who have sworn, people who have hung up on him, and everyone in between. It's a great experience for a 13-year old.
And the campaign's been feeding us too. Here's a sure sign that young people are hard at work.
Don't forget to vote on November 2nd!
