Bio
A child of the 60s, adult of the 80s and semi-retiree of the new millennium, I first got involved in politics when I was in the seventh grade and organized a two-block long parade of my friends and neighbors in support of JFK's candidacy. Along with the nation, I lost my political innocence on November 22, 1963. Five years later I attended RFK's funeral at St. Patrick's cathedral. My idealism prompted me to protest the Vietnam war and I was arrested blocking the draft board in Albany, NY. My patriotism impelled me to serve my country, so I joined the Peace Corps and worked in Korea. The various liberation movements---civil rights, women's rights, gay rights---as well as Korean reunification still charge my batteries. Barack Obama fills me with hope that the America I hoped for can become a reality.
