Give Kevin An "A" For Effort!

So I made the mistake of crumbling under not yet foreseen pressures and took a job as a canvasser.

I say it was "unforeseen" pressure due the fact that since I'm out of the loony bin and back living with Netty & Jack, it would only be a few more day before Netty was up my ass about getting a job. Trust me living in the nut house for a week is a cake walk compared to living with Netty.

But, back to the job. I canvassed for 2.5 for the Human Rights Campaign because I feel passionately enough about equality for all humans.

The Humans Rights Campaign is the largest Gay & Lesbian civil rights group. You can Click over on the right to see what their all about. It mind boggling to believe in 31 states it is legal to terminate an employee for being gay or lesbian.

My job was to the man on the street to sign up HRC Partners and raise money to pass the bill though congress.

While I have the big mouth for the job, people in Boston are big givers, so i never quite made the quota. OK, the truth I never even got close. Plus they only gave me a couple days to try. Not only that a fellow canvasser was evading my space and taking potential donators away from me.

So I said chalk my time up as volunteer work let me find a better outlet for my skills and energy.

Hey at least I tried!
