community organizers

(via dday)
" Community organizers, which were part of George H.W. Bush's thousand points of light, provide comfort, help save jobs, create opportunity. In a nation ripped asunder by right-wing policies, they are often the last line of defense. Leaders of this nation like Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony, even Thomas Paine and Sam Adams, were community organizers. As this fellow writes today, Jesus was a community organizer and Pilate was a governor."
so see, Sarah, they have great responsibilities.

Rah!

I was so angry the Democrats hadn't taken this ball and run with it yesterday that I rattled off a letter to Time with similar sentiments first thing in the morning. By the end of the day, though, the Dems had found their voices and made my letter redundant, something I don't mind at all in this case.

Your sleuthing uncovered the real gold, though!
