I'd show you my resume, but I think it's a bit tacky to try and out activist one another on a supposedly progressive site. Having said that, I will do it anyways. My family has been involved in progressive politics since one of our great great great great grandfathers arrived on the Mayflower. My grandmother was a President of Hadassah in Texas. My parents know Howard Dean. I worked on a film about Karl Rove that went to Cannes. I wrote materials used by the Kerry campaign. My little brother, who came out to our family when he was 12 became the first MALE president of his high school Feminist club.
You are in good company. If only we could be nice to one another.
