Some where between San Antonio and El Paso (10-16-08; 10:15pm) - I'm on a bus to Las Cruces, New Mexico with Jeanne and about 40 other Obama volunteers. This is the first time we travel to another state to campaign.
I believe in the tested principle that all politics is local. If you want to make a difference start in your own community. And if you have the ggod fortune to represent a community in elected office never forget who you serve-your locals and their local concerns.
So its a stretch for me to leave San Antonio to travel to Las Cruces to persuade New Mexicans to vote for Obama. But I'm doing it. Why? Because this is a historic election. And, I want to tell my kids and grandkids how I did my part.
