The people I work with are among the most intelligent I’ve ever met. They also seem to be pretty well-informed. I was alarmed yesterday when I learned none of them had heard of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge’s request for the authority to “CANCEL and reschedule the election” due to terrorist threat. While I’m fully aware that this story has made its way well through the blogosphere, I am sharing it here just in case anyone missed it.
Election Day Worries
OutsideTheBeltway offers a thoughtful post on the subject.
Now that John Kerry’s got you all fired up for civil service, it’s time to do your part. Get up off your lazy butt, reach into your wallet, and donate at our AIDS marathon website! We only have until August 31st to raise $6,000 and we’re only about 1/6th of the way there. If each of you donates $25 we’ll raise at least 100 bucks. And then well, I guess we’ll have to look elsewhere.
So help us out, spread the word, (this means you, bloggers!) and please do what you can. It’s a noble cause and Jason and I are thrilled to be a part of it. We need your help!
Please send me a note to let me know you’ve donated as the website seems to be having trouble updating. You can comment on this post or email me at mickikrimmel*at*gmail.com.
