okay, i'll admit it...i'm, i'm...an INFORMED CITIZEN. i read the proposed laws, i know the names of my legislators, i read the party platforms, i send letters, i go to meetings. yes it's true, i even know the poll workers at my voting place and my precinct number(gulp). is there a 12 step group for me? *snort snicker*
