getting them set up.

But, unless your age 12 or so, you knew that already. You've clearly never been around a Revolution. There is a lot of planning, and trial and error, and grouping and regrouping and honing the message and discovering the leaders from the followers, train, get the message down pat, make up signs and flyers and door hangers, organize the volunteers, et al. Then get out on the streets and, just do it.

And that was Step 1. Tomorrow's lesson will build on today's. Homework for tomorrow is to read any book at your reading level...can be internet research... that describes a Revolution...which truly seems to upset you or make you feel nervous and maybe you feel you're missing it?

And yes, I was a teacher. So it's all good.

Sen. Clinton pushes voting holiday, allowing ex-cons to vote

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible White House candidate in 2008, joined 2004 nominee John Kerry and other Democrats Thursday in urging that Election Day be made a federal holiday to encourage voting.
She also pushed for legislation that would allow all ex-felons to vote.

Standing with Massachusetts Sen. Kerry and other Democrats who had alleged voting irregularities in the 2004 contest, Clinton said, "Once again we had a federal election that demonstrates we have a long way to go."

"I think it's also necessary to make sure our elections meet the highest national standards," said the New York senator.

Perhaps you'd like to talk about all the "theys" on the Bernie side that
must surely speak for you?

I whole heatedly support the idea, so, I don't know why it would be
ridiculous. Unless, of course, you mean the "first" mentality, which...
yes, is very ridiculous. Pretty sure it's not Hillary that's abusing that
piece of hipster logic though.
