Civics Lessons

Quick update....I took the kids to Albuquerque NM this past weekend for an Obama rally. Viv has done a bit of volunteering this year for Obama, and she's been looking at issues, etc. She can outline for you why she has made her decision this year, so that's good training for the future. Anyway, we got stuck in a terrible detour on the interstate, and that added 3 hours onto the trip. Put us into ABQ late, so we had no hope of actually seeing more than a fleeting glimpse of him via binoculars. There were 45,000 people there. But we did get to hear him and be part of the process. Both AJ and Viv gave it an overall thumbs up, even with the long detour and the poor view. I'm pleased that they have learned that politics CAN be personal, that being involved feels good, that researching a person is vital in deciding who to vote for, and that voting is important. Nuff said.
