At the Train Station

At the train station I ran into Austin Ridgely, a Student at Temple University, where he is studying History.  Well, he was, until he ran out of money.  Now he is earning the needed money by being a paid solicitor at the Philly Train Station for the ACLU.  He was appropriately badged by AMTRAK to do this work.

Nice chap. If you are through the station and are not yet a member of the ACLU, go up and greet him and join up.  If you are a member, just say hello.

We are, as US citizens, dependent on different lobbying groups to help us protect our rights under the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution itself.  I am a member of the ACLU because of certain clauses in the Bill of Rights.  I am a member of the NRA because of the Second Amendment.  And, because of the Tenth Amendment, I am a member of the Greater Lowell Tea Party Movement,

Protect your rights.

And, protect democracy by signing each and every petition for someone to get on the ballot you come across.  It is just a month to go before all those signatures have to be turned in.  It doesn't cost anything to sign a petition and it definitely does not (repeat NOT) commit you to vote for that person in either the Primary or the General Election come November.
