Where is Michele Bachmann when it comes to the real, hard, substantive work of community building? Kudos to the volunteers!
Thanks, Daniel!! Bob said “Bachmann is on her way to her press conference.”
Fortunately for us, due to redistricting, we are now represented by liberal Democrat Betty McCollum — St Paul and east. Bachmann still lives in this district, but she chose not to run here — could not beat Betty.
you folks with own your bee colony to pollinate your own wild meadows, and your own library to pollinate your own liberal brains, all volunteer all the time (beating back the discouragement of no good deed going unpunished). it’s all pretty inspiring. seems like some kind of Kingsolver novel or something. keep it all up! fight the power, homie!
