I am not a rich person. I watch my money every month, I pay my bills, and look at the money flits away. But I am doing well enough. One thing I have not been able to afford is donating to Barack Obama. I talk about him, I blog about him, but I can’t really spare the money to help him out.
So I decided that instead of money, I would volunteer.
To be honest, I procrastinated. I kept saying "Next week, I will" and then a friend would want to hang out or something, and I would postpone it. Time was slipping away, and I thought, "Well, I can do Ravioli and ramen this week and send Obama 25 dollars.
But I felt that was too lazy.
So on Wednesday, I get a call from an Obama volunteer asking if I will canvas. Before thinking, I said, "Yes I will!" knowing that if I commit to someone, I will follow through.
So today, I went to canvass for Obama (And Mark Warner and Judy Federer).
