Democratic National Convention







Democratic National Convention
Philadelphia, PA
July 25-29, 2016

I tried my hardest to be part of this historic moment.  I applied to be a delegate for Hillary but I didn't make it on the ballot.  So I applied to serve as a volunteer.  I wanted to work on the social media team. But no such team existed fro volunteers.  Nothing was going to be left to chance.  I could volunteer to stand day in the heat or at the train station, sporting a blue tee shirt  that offers, "ASK ME!!".  I didn't want to do that.

But I did get invited to two events that got me in to the fringe of the event and that was exciting.  I did spend an afternoon wandering around the protesters and loving every minute of it. Everyone had very strong opinions.
