About ReallyIAmAnOptimist

In 2007 (excited about Obama) I got involved in my LD as a PCO and in 2008 did a stint on the board as an alternate rep to King County Dems. My key issue was healthcare reform (watching that sausage-making was a painful experience). Right now I see the key issue being getting money out of politics. I\\\'m excited and thankful for the power of social media to affect change in 2016 (while we still have an open internet). I\\\'m 56, married, with two step-children (in college). I\'m trained as a dietitian/nutritionist and I specialize in weight management (as a continuing ed provider and author). I would call myself a Democratic Socialist (while I of course pretty much vote Dem. IMO we don\\\'t actually have a liberal party in the USA, just two conservative ones). I was against the Iraq war (and was shocked at how easily W drew us into it). Needless to say, I\\\'m all in for Bernie!
