siercia1. Did you vote in your last elections?
No. Please don't yell at me, I know, I know. I don't even have a good excuse, aside from my registration being bungled, and not having found City Hall to fix it. On the National level, it didn't matter as far as outcome, MA sent back our Democrats to the House and Senate. And I know, I now don't get to complain one iota about Mitt Romney.
2. Do you know who your elected representatives are?
Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry. Representative William Delahunt. I know my town's state Senator too.
3. Have you ever contacted an elected representative? If so, what was it about?
I have - Varous times about abortion issue, about the proposed war in Iraq.
4. Have you ever participated in a demonstration?
Yup, although not since college.
5. Have you ever volunteered in an election? What was the result?
Okay, this one's embarassing. I have not volunteered for an election since I've been of voting age (although I think I'm starting to get interested in it. BUT, my Dad's an active member of the Republican party and when I was a kid, I helped him with his various political stuff; leafleting, phone calling, poll working. When he ran for State Rep in 1986, he lost, but I also helped campaign for Reagan and Bush Senior. Yes, folks, I was an active Republican from 1983-1988 or so. I'm so ashamed! ;)

You were a *what*?
