Autobiographical

My full-length book, Where We Think It Should Go, can be yours via Octopus Books, Small Press Distribution, or Amazon. We better celebrate these hard copies while we can. When I'm not writing poetry, I teach amazing young people who are blind. I believe in a healthier future.

California Audio Voter Guide

I think the audio voter guide is useful to anyone who likes to listen to things that might be dense to read. Everything is read by a human. If you don't live in California, check your state's web resources for similar options.

You can access an audio version of the Official Voter Information Guide for the November 4th election on the California Secretary of State's website. There are two versions--the whole voter guide as a Zip file or individual sections of the voter guide as mp3 files accessed from the Table of Contents. For each Voter Proposition on the Ballot, there are separate files with the Official Title and Summary, Analysis by the Legislative Analyst, Arguments for and against, and Rebuttals.

Audio Version of the Official Voter Information Guide (separate files):

The entire audio version of the VIG is available for download at http://www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov/audio/en-2008pg.zip

PAIN


It is from Alaska
that we send those out to make sure that an eye
is being kept on

this very powerful nation
Russia because they
are right there



WITH THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE


change what we can do
about that as governor

I was the first governor

to form a climate change to
start dealing

with the impacts

Alex told me about The Great Schlep ! This is genius. My grandma lives in Florida, but unfortunately she can't vote.

I'm been having some nightmares about oversleeping on election day and not opening the polling place. I have to be there at 6 AM. I'll probably be too nervous to sleep at all.

Save This Country, Missouri

Hey Kansas Citians, October 8th is the LAST DAY you can register to vote in the November 4th election!

If you currently live in Missouri, but you're from Kansas, you CAN vote in Missouri. Switching your registration is not hard.

Simply download and print the application from this website OR fill out a simple form to have the application mailed to you, but don't delay! You can get one mailed to you if you click here.

I think you can also find applications at the library and DMV.

Missouri might just go your way...polls show a near-tie between Obama and McCain.

I passed my pollworker exam, and I might be running your neighborhood polling place if you live up the hill from Dolores Park. See ya there in November.

I think it's fall in San Francisco right NOW. Midwestern-style dark clouds, brown and orange leaves, light breeze, 85% humidity.
