There Is No Chance of Taking A Walk Today, So Donate Your Money to Some Good Causes

It's a rainy day and windy, too, here on the Eastern Seaboard.

The election is coming up fast. A lot of things hang in the balance, like the fate of our nation, and our rights and such.

And you know what? All fall, I've been craving a new pair of flat, slouchy suede boots. Yeah, I really want those boots.

But reader, I didn't buy them and I won't until this election is over. Instead, I've been giving my equivalent money and time in trickles, so I can have as big an impact as I can 'afore the election.

Here are some ideas for where to donate YOUR shoe-money this fall.

• Two awful ballot initiatives in Florida California (ha. I initally said Florida cause I was calling Jewish seniors there as I blogged): Prop 4 and Prop 8, that take away civil rights for women and BGLT citizens, need to be stopped.
• Give your money or phone-calling prowess to the Obama campaign.
• Support progressive downticket candidates.
• Planned Parenthood.
• South Dakota Campaign for Healthy families (super important, fighting an abortion ban)
  

That is all. Enjoy your Saturdays, and hope you don't run into Cousin John Reed whilst you're endeavoring to read your book behind the red curtains.
