Some of the finest people I know attend these gatherings and have for many years.  I won’t mention any names but they are the salt of the earth. Actually most of the people who stay long term involved in Democratic Politics are good people who care about their neighbors.  They care enough to vote and help others to vote. More people should join us. I can’t and won’t say any thing bad about Republicans because they are most often nice people, too. They just haven’t had the fun we have: helping our neighbors.

Worked 18 hours yesterday, with a payrate of 14 hours at 8.50 an hour paid by the County of Harris for my services as an Election Judge in the Democratic Primary. The Democratic Party pays the County back, as do the Republicans.  What I really got was the honor of serving my country. I always swear to myself that this election  will be the last time, I serve. But like having a baby, the pain is gone at the finish and look what you have: an election that you know was conducted properly and fairly without any fear of cheating while the ballots were in your possession.

It is a damn small price to pay for free elections.
