My personal volunteering highlight:

The issue I have been most vocal about is the need for a comprehensive Midwestern passenger rail network. I have been using the blog as a mouthpiece and gathering place for Western Pennsylvania concerns about passenger rail to be voiced. I am spending my summer by in part looking at the feasibility of two particular spurs, Pittsburgh-Cleveland and Pittsburgh-Columbus, that could develop in the next five to ten years.

More about my volunteering with progressive organizations:

I worked with NETWORK, a National Catholic Social Justice lobby on domestic policy issues, particularly low income housing and child nutrition.

What motivates me:

The incredible amount of dissemination that I see my ideas taking. The ability to map out where visits to my site are coming from is absolutely astounding.

How I try to motivate others:

The ability to forward and send emails, as benign as it sounds, is an incredible motivating tool. I try to act as a clearing house where information can be passed to interested parties.

My suggested bumper sticker slogan for the Stand with Dr. Dean campaign:
