sfzombie13 324 #1 February 4, 2014 i guess by now you're all aware of the water crisis here in wv. well, i had a thread on the bonfire where i asked for help, and it worked. well, andy908 gave some good advice, and i took it and ran with it. i found the groups, went to the meetings, got off my ass and helped with water and signed people up on lists to help get petitions signed. then, to top it off, i gave a speech (2 min., but it was live and is all over youtube right now, you can see me at 21 minutes, i was first on the list:https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=m-ch-fea&v=PzcSxCYKbyY&app=desktop.). thanx for the advice andy! maybe the political system is working, we shall see. like i said in my speech, we don't trust them and they haven't let us down. i am going to ask all of you to sign the petition at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/investigate-mismanagement-wv-water-disaster-state-and-county-officials-well-wv-american-water/m9S1TDRC. you need to register to sign, but nothing too bad. the whole thing takes about two minutes on a fast internet connection. it is asking for federal investigation of state and local officials for mishandling the crisis._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfzombie13 324 #8 February 6, 2014 just a quick update. i signed up for my bachelors degree in january at the university of charleston. my online classes start in march, and while i was there yesterday checking on the paperwork, i decided to start or join a group to help get more people involved in the cause. by the time i left, i had talked to several faculty members to enlist an advisor. while talking with one, she asked me at the end of the conversation after providing me a list of faculty to ask, what my major was. i told her it was organizational leadership. she just smiled and said i was doing a great job. then it hit me and i had a good laugh with her, i had almost started a student organization before taking my first class! i really wish they had used a picture with my eyes open, though. now, i'm not a big fan of political stations, but have always paid attention to rachel maddow. she hit the nail on the head with this report. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/watch/west-virginians-dubious-of-water-reassurances-139114563968_________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
