My dad is quoted in the Washington Post!
He runs the local Obama office and they talked to him about volunteering...


At Obama's Lakewood office on the city's west side, Jeff Haley described the path that took him from being a registered Republican in the 1980s to unaffiliated in the 1990s to a registered Democrat since President Bush took office in 2001.

"I believe our value set is substantially different from that represented by the opponents, frankly," he said. "I don't see their values being the values of the United States as it was intended to be when it was founded. I frankly think our Founding Fathers would be greatly appalled by what's developed here in the last few years."

4. Give the dad a hug
and buy him a copy of John Dean's Broken Government. I just finished reading it and I'm still shaking my head.
