I haven't even found a stamp to send out my hastily penned letters to four lucky troop members serving overseas and already it's Day 17. Fuck, I'm falling behind and it's another letter.

Lobby online: You don't have to join a protest march to be an activist—simply sign up for the right e-mail alerts. HungerActionCenter.org, for instance, keeps tabs on key hunger-related bills up for debate in Congress. Click to send a prewritten letter of support to your representative.

Why just hunger related bills? Why not everything? I feel very strongly about reproductive rights, the plight of the homeless humans and animals and how little girls get the shaft when it comes to math and science. Since I'm a big fan of just going directly to the source, I skipped that Hunger Action Center thing, whipped open my e-mail program and dashed off a letter to my state representative, my county supervisor, my Congressman and also, the Vice President of the United States. Always take a good idea about three steps too far, I always say. I also forwarded this, because it just seemed like the right thing to do and the idea of Dick Cheney watching this video made me laugh.

Am I an angel yet? Did I earn my wings? Ring that damned bell, Clarence!
