Have we passed "the tipping point"?

68. Well, you see, I consider that to be a very important thing

to do, and I work toward that goal a good deal. But, I'm 68 years old, now, and no longer engage in street activism other than walking my precinct. In the past, however, street activism was a large part of my life.

At the same time Howard Zinn was working for civil rights in the mid 1960s, I was doing the same, as a very young man. Later in the 1960s, I was involved in anti-war activities in the DC area, and participated in many actions at that time. Later, I worked to support reproductive choice rights in California, where I lived. I have also been an activist against nuclear power generation, starting in the early 1960s and continuing for three decades.

All during that time, I also worked to elect Democrats, and worked in many campaigns in California, where I lived. Today, I live in St. Paul, MN, where I am a DFL precinct chair. You can visit our precinct website, which I created and maintain, at the link in my signature line. Here, I have worked hard to get marriage equality passed and to prevent the passage of a restrictive marriage constitutional amendment, and to elect people like Al Franken and Betty McCollum, along with progressive state legislators in my state.

As I said, you know very little about me and even less about my life. Don't make the mistake of thinking I am someone I am not. If you presume, you will be incorrect.

But, yes, I do vote for and work to elect Democrats. I always have done that, along with whatever else I have done.
