Go Team Mitt!

I am not exactly what you would call a "politically active" person, but considering what's at stake with the upcoming presidential election, I decided it was time to do something. So I signed up on MittRomney.com and got involved as a volunteer. Tonight was our first volunteer activity- to tell you the truth I was kind of nervous. It was a phone bank, cold calling people and doing surveys. But I decided to go and have the experience. It was definitely out of my comfort zone, which made it a challenge for me!

I am really glad I went, I learned a lot and it felt good to do something that perhaps might (in some super small way) help out the Romney campaign. So it ended up being 3 hours and I made about 150 phone calls. Unfortunately, most people aren't super friendly, but I sure talked to a lot of interesting people. I even called some people on my list who were dead- oops! sorry! One poor old man told me all about his late wife who used to take care of the cat and although he hated it, he kept it around because he felt like she was watching. It was so sad and I wished I could've talked to him longer and kept him company. I was the only girl there (they were all middle aged business men) and at the end the guy who was hosting the event told me that I had made the most calls- yeah for the pregnant mom!

Hopefully you heard Mitt's speech this morning on religious freedom in America. If not, you can watch it here. Make time to watch it if you haven't yet because it's amazing and it has changed a lot of peoples thinking about his possibility as a Republican nominee. If this interests you at all, let me know. There are so many things that we can do to help Mitt win!
