go greens!
i spent the weekend in peoria at the illinois green party state membership meeting. it was just what i needed to ignite some fire into my green activity. those meetings are always so energizing, particularly when they are well attended by good people. i'm happy to say i will officially be a delegate to the national green party convention this summer carrying my vote for cynthia mckinney!

i'm excited to start kicking the campaign season into gear. there are some great local candidates for county board who have a better than ever chance at getting elected. i want to start some serious fundraising for these efforts.

i really enjoy getting together at these meetings with a lot of the same core people working towards the same values. it's great to be a part of a community.

my green activity has been pretty low lately, but the state party meeting came just in time to get me re-energized. i definitely need to get some serious volunteering in before grad school starts. i'm not sure how much spare time i'll have once i start up my studies again, but i'm ready to give my efforts until then.
