I suppose parades just work best on the nearest Saturday, fair enough.<\/p>\n<p \/>We received a very warm welcome from the crowds along the parade route.  Not necessarily a sure thing in our typically Republican region.  But this election season I feel is different.  I think that many thoughtful Republicans will find it hard to vote for Bush again (except maybe the ones on the Supreme Court who appointed him to begin with).  What does a vote for Bush mean?  Four more years of tax cuts for the rich?  Exported jobs?  Lies leading us to war?  Weakend environmental and food safety protections?<\/p>\n<p \/>It feels good to get involved.  If you care enough to want a change, you have to care enough to get involved.  And I will be doing all that I can to help elect John Kerry President in November, there is nothing more important I could be doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>see the photo album It was a great summer day to march in a 4th of July parade, except it was the 3rd of July.
