It hasn’t had time to all sink in just yet, but in the meantime…..

Being sick when you have a year old and 4 year old is pretty miserable. Being sick and having a sick 2 year old and a sick 4 year old is hell. After an entire morning of whining, snot, and fighting, I finally got the boys separate and happy (for the moment). Emmett wanted to watch a Bob the Builder movie and Ollie just wanted to watch PBS Kids. After several failed attempts at trying to play with them, I gave in to their TV requests….and that’s when the fights over what was on TV began. The eventual solution? Ollie is tucked nicely into my bed watching PBS kids and Emmett has his pillow and his blanket on the living room floor watching Bob: On Site.
My reward? I get to drink a cup of coffee in peace and contemplate my own miserable, snot filled head.

Listen up people!
I grew up in North Carolina. To me, it will always feel like home. And today, I’m not the only one with Carolina in my mind. In fact, the whole country is looking to our state to make the difference.
There’s something different in the air this year. I’ve sensed it in the crowds I’ve played to, and seen it in the eyes of folks I’ve talked with. North Carolinians are hungry for a change. And for the first time in a generation, the presidential race could go either way in this state — it’s all up to us.
That’s why this week I’m doing my part by traveling around the state I love, using my voice to tell everyone I can reach that it’s time to vote for change.
And now I’m asking you to do your bit. Find a Campaign for Change office near you and volunteer to talk to voters. The Obama campaign has a plan to win North Carolina, but they need 100,000 volunteer hours to pull it off. I’m going to give as many as I can, and I hope you’ll join me.
We all know that we have some serious challenges to solve: The economy is in rough shape, jobs are disappearing, and quality, affordable health care is out of reach for far too many.
Across the country, folks are realizing that the only way to really tackle these challenges is to work together. If we let ourselves be divided by party, race, or fear, we’ll fail. And the stakes are just too high to let that happen.
This spirit of unity and purpose is what Barack Obama’s campaign is all about, and it’s why I’m a proud supporter.
But proud support is not enough right now. We have to get out there, tell folks they can start voting today, and make sure they do. So please, sign up to join me and volunteer as much as you can this week:

Together you and I, and the great state of North Carolina, are going to put our country back on the right track.
Thank you,
James Taylor

I know that volunteer spirit in our society is on the wane, so we knew we had an uphill battle to climb. However, trying to get people to show up for the shifts that they signed up for and do some work has been next to pulling teeth. My bias for candidates is pretty clear, but that aside for a minute, apply this to any campaign or cause. Just because you’re called a volunteer doesn’t make the job you signed up to do any less important. There is so much to be done and only 13 days to do it in. No matter which side you’re on, this is a chance to make history! Get excited.
I can’t begin to understand the ammount of apathy in the young people I talk to. Is it a failing on behalf of the system, education, the parents? I don’t know. I do know, however, that therre are far too many people in this country who think their vote doesn’t count….who think that politics don’t effect them. What? With all the current crisis int he political world having a DIRECT effect on our daily lives, I would think it would extremely evident now, more than ever.
Please, please, please people….its only a few days of your life. Sign up, make phone calls, knock on doors….have an effect, make a difference! Every vote counts. No matter your age group, you have a stake in this election….whether your retired and worrying about the financial market or your young and worried about your financial aid (or possibly being drafted)…..get out there and make a difference.
Yard signs don’t win elections….volunteers do!
