Well the event outside Congressman Clay's office went well enough. 6 people showed up, and I want to thank all of them. We got a small number of appreciative honks of car horns, and drove up the blood pressure of several Tea Partiers.
We delivered over 1300 petition signatures in support of Peace with Iran to Congressman Lacy Clay's staff.
Their response was to say the congressman needed the full two month deliberation to make up his mind- even as fellow Missouri Democrats in far more competitive districts have risked much to support the peace agreement, and to point out how important it was that we occupied Vietnam to stop terrorism or something. Apparently 2 million dead, massive man-made flooding, and chemical warfare on an entire ecosystem is not terrorism, but public ownership is. Not terribly encouraging, but a lot of good points were raised on the side of diplomacy at least.
On a lighter note, apparently Lacy has got himself a good primary challenger- State Sen. Maria Chappelle Nadal, heroine of Ferguson, may be jumping in. I'd love to work for her given the chance!
