Wishing away the Shrub presidency...

[Left Is Write]

I know people are saying cheer up, it's only four years, 14XX days left, yadda, yadda...but the truth of the matter is, I don't WANT the next four years just to speed on by.

I have little children, just three and five. I don't want to spend these innocent years of their childhood wishing the time away. By the time that vermin is out of office, my kids will be 21, 9, and 7. It seems such a short time, but I don't want my kids to have an unhappy, bitter mother.

What can I do - in a positive way, that sets a good example for my kids - besides just writing to congresspeople and the occasional LTTE? Somehow, I have to know that I can make a difference somewhere on the political chain, and give myself (and my family) something to be proud of and something to hope for.
