Stand for Change Rally with Senator Barack Obama February 20th. Wednesday, February 20th., 11:30am (doors open 10:30am) Reunion Arena, 777 Sports Street, Dallas, TXSenator Barack Obama will be in Dallas on Wednesday, February 20th for a "Stand for Change" Rally on Wednesday morning, February 20th. Don't miss it! The event is free, and no advance tickets are needed; however, entry is first come-first served (so get there early).
Wooley was going to try and make this. But I had an event to go to in Fort Worth and so could not make it, although Michelle says its like when Clinton came to talk at UT Austin when she was at college and she decided she had to go to her philosophy class and not try to get to the Clinton speech/rally, and does she remember anything about her class, no, so maybe I should skip the event and go to the rally, but I am just not up to standing around for ages, still feeling the effects being tired and ill......and if I disappeared from work for a few hours I think my boss/Michelle may have an idea as to where I have gone to?!
Here is the link to some photos of the rally, apparently you had to que for ages, so maybe it wasn’t all that bad that we missed out!

The debate is tonight in Austin, Texas and again failed in even getting close to getting tickets, security is high and so I don’t think they will let in Non resident aliens!
Is ken having a rally for the elections?! I wonder?
We are going to a fund raiser held by a firend from my book groups house, although of course he/Barack will not be there, but its a good chance for us to chat to people with similar political leanings as I am sure Wooley may have indicated he does get very frustrated hanging out with politically disinterested or even worse ignorant people.
I failed to sneak a margarita or two in on the way to/from event in Fort Worth at Joe T Gracias as Deepa and Nina will tell you excellent margaritas there! Jigna

Dhara says.............
makes sense man - though it would have been cool, you are an alien (of the non resident variety) and cos you can't even vote whats the point in standing on your feet all day. however if he wins and goes on to do great things you could have said in years to come..."i was there when he came to Dallas blah blah blah"
re ken: who knows? i cannot believe that there has been such little info/hype about the mayoral elections this year - its an office people actually understand that arguably has vaguely higher levels of transparency and accountability.....
will angry white men vote??

The really interesting things on those CIF's is always the comments, especially like the comments by the "angry white men" in this one. The other day we were tlaking to a not so political guy from wooleys lab and he said he felt it was more important that the USA has a female President rather than a "black" President, both Wooley and I felt that having a "black" President was more important, as argubaly a larger proportion of the US "black" population is disenfranchised and segragated but this CIF talks about the lack of support for women having families and returning to work and in the USA, it really is bad and so maybe a female President can address these issues, but would Hilary be that President and how much sucess can one woman or "black" president really have in the USA, where the white male are in the majority when it comes to decision making bodies as in the Senate and Congress?
The only think we can console ourselves with is we were in the same city with the guy who could be the first Black President of the USA :)
