GOOD NEWS

So there is good news...Today I descended into a nicely lit basement to spend 8 hours with approximately 35 folks...all involved in running for elected office with a conservation based slant.  We did not go outside...but other than that it was exciting...and this is why...are you ready?

There are many wonderful candidates running to oppose the majority in this upcoming election cycle that are DEMOCRATS!  Yay!  These folks from all over the state have lots of support, ambition and enthusiasm and are opposing sitting Repubs for all sorts of seats--including legislative senatorial and representative seats.  This is a dream come true!

There is a gentleman from Driggs who is younger, clearly bright and talented and eager...there is a gentleman from the Carpenter's Union who is amazingly likeable, and grounded in terms of advocating for the working class, there are several intelligent women, well-spoken and determined that are planning ambitious and change oriented campaigns...and there is new blood flowing throughout Ada County, as well as returning incumbents thathave already learned how to do good work within the frame of the legislature.  This is a very exciting time.

The best part (really I know I am demented a bit because of  my choice for best part)the whole day with great trainers from Oregon and lots of excellent info, still the best part of the day was when I heard Obama had won Wyoming.  BIG SIGH...Then I knew that it will be o.k.

I love Wyoming.  Such gorgeous land, wind blown rock formations.  So many implications too, that sweet baby and her mama in the accident there...the boy pulled behind the truck...dick cheney and his cronism...
