Hungry for Change Bake Sale

Barack Obama can't win without these voters, and these bake sales are key for funding that outreach.

Permalink Reply by Sarah Anonymous on June 20, 2008 at 3:07pm: I should clarify that I have no position on moveon, either way, and that I am all for community organizing, but... this world does not need more cookies. There are people who can't eat (most) cookies, (like celiacs like me, and like diabetics, and other specific medical diets), and there are people who just don't need to eat cookies (like everyone). And its a really bad habit, equating community support with overeating/junk food. I just had to explain to an irate mom why I was not interested in paying $1 for a kitkat bar, so her kid could go on a team trip of some sort. (and she was a diabetic, btw! I offered to donate 50 cents, since I figured that was more than her profit margin, but she called me a &*^ and walked away. Obviously, I just hated her kid or something. Oh well!) And I just love those groups of kids, who knock on your door to tell you that they are selling ~~crack~~ candy so that they can "stay out of gangs". Just gotta vent, I guess.; ▶ Reply to This

I feel better already!; ▶ Reply to This

Now myself I like cookies, I like Obama and I like Move On. I’m not particularly fond of tofu and I don’t like the Right Wing Christian Coalition.; ▶ Reply to This
