The Forums Begin

It is so nice to be in a city where involvement is heralded by organizations. The phone calls and late nights putting out signs have been a breath of fresh air after being subjected to the news at work. It seems national politics always leaves everyone I know with the feeling government is not reachable. Here in Portland it is the opposite. We raced around last evening at twelve to put up signs for my friend's campaign. There were hundreds out already at twelve. The scandal was other contenders had been out putting up signs a few hours early. Some say they broke the rules but I say, "Go right ahead!" Get excited about local politics. Let the only scandal be that you went out early because you could not contain your enthusiasm to become involved with your city.
