How Quickly We Forget

The elective franchise is withheld from one half of its citizens, many of whom are intelligent, cultured, and virtuous, while it is unstintingly bestowed upon the other, some of whom are illiterate, debauched and vicious, because the word "people", by an unparalleled exhibition of lexicographical acrobatics, has been turned and twisted to mean all who were shrewd and wise enough to have themselves born boys instead of girls, or who took the trouble to be born white instead of black.---Mary Church Terrell

I don't know what's available where you are, but I bet with a little research, you can find just what you're looking for. The main thing is to get (and stay!) involved! : )

Thanks for the encouragement! I think MoveOn (http://www.moveon.org/) seems to have gotten a lot done, and to be fairly sensible, I'll check them out more, and since I can't give money, maybe they can find a use for my time.

PS: Lavendar harvest sounds SOOOO good! I went to a place like that in New England a few years ago, 'twas wunnerful.
