I don't remember being asked if I support Barack Obama! This came out today in the APWU newsletter. I am not very political, but they are saying that it was unanimous and I am a union member. Please don't speak for me without asking me first!

APWU Endorses Sen. Barack Obama

(04/09/08) The National Executive Board of the American Postal Workers Union has voted unanimously to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president.

"Sen. Obama's message is one of hope and change," said union President William Burrus. "His message is special, and the timing is right."

"We are most impressed by Sen. Obama's commitment to eradicating the undue influence of special interests in the political process," he said. "Our current political system does not allow for the voices of average citizens to be heard over the demands of lobbyists and big-money campaign contributors.

"Sen. Obama has vowed to change that, and his campaign has flourished through the participation of new voters and small contributors," Burrus said. "We believe he will be a president who will strongly represent the interests of working Americans."

"His ability to bring new participants into our nation's democratic process - to get young people involved, and to persuade ordinary citizens that they have a real stake in politics - is an inspiration."

"We are pleased to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president of the United States, and we will commit our energy and efforts to help him win the White House."

I hope everyone's mail count went well. My last blog or rant about the personal struggle I was having has been

addressed. I think I was heard. At first, I was told I was being disrespectful, for questioning orders. Now we are

both giving a little. Starting anew.  Some things have to be expressed or you eventually explode! Thanks for all

the good wishes! Spring is almost here!

Just one of those days when everything breaks or quits working or works soooo slowly. The computer, the PVI printer, and the money order printer have taken turns this morning at my office. Never too dull! I almost miss carrying today. Almost. I have to admit I feel human again after not carrying for one week now. It sure wears on a body. One knee is shot and the good one was beginning to hurt in a very familiar way before I quit being a pack mule. I am thankful to have this job though. Hope everyone else has a better day!
