I took her comment about "whining" to refer to my preaching-to-the-choir (mostly) exhortations that refer to the news items. Uncomfortably, she has a point. Shouting here may do some good if it convinces readers who didn't already agree with me, or it it provides rhetorical ammunition for others to use to convince people elsewhere, but my own journal is the easiest, not the most effective, place for me to do this.
I can't afford to buy my own groceries, so I probably won't donate money; my body has been unreliable enough that I'm not sure what to do volunteering-wise ... but yeah, I should repair the machine that talks to the printer and look up the addresses of a few newspapers. It'll still be talk rather than action, but at least there'll be a chance of preaching to someone other than the choir.
I know your situation is hard at the moment, so I have tried to hold my tounge. But Kerry needs all the help he can get and you are very eloquent. And yes, I freely admit that I am asking you to "put those skills into my priorities!" If I can help you do some work for Kerry, ask.

I've edited a couple of my recent political posts (the last section of this one, and the one about fraudulent disenfranchisement (which I made short and long versions of)) and mailed them to those addresses.
I've no idea what the odds are of their getting printed, but here's hoping.
