Most accept low pay and few benefits and the fear of constant layoffs (because all programs are dependent on the whims of grants and public funding) because they want to make a difference. <BR/><BR/>I could not afford to work as a community organizer unless I had the income from my pension and Social Security.

Tie her to mocking women's suffrage and the civil rights movements. Interestingly enough, without those organizers she wouldn't be standing as a V.P. candidate.11thStoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201900622061225687noreply@blogger.com
