We started the Georia On My Mind Tour<\/strong> in Thomasville where our Jonathan got in a spirited “sandlot soccer game” at Remington Park over the weekend.\u00a0 We then did a downtown whistle-stop event.\u00a0 Three TV news crews filmed.\u00a0 One of the shows started out:\u00a0 “Now it’s Obama, Romney and… Joe.”\u00a0<\/strong> I liked that.\u00a0 The front page of the Thomasville News-Enterprise<\/em><\/strong> ran a story the next day about the campaign.\u00a0 I noted that the day before an Associated Press<\/em> article carried a story saying temperatures for March were a record shattering 8 degrees above normal, which many scientists attribute to: global warming.\u00a0 I said running as a “concerned parent,” I didn’t want to leave a world of climate chaos for our children.\u00a0 (What sane parent would?)\u00a0 We propose a dramatic shift to renewable energy now<\/em>, with, well, the concept of “sacrifice” making up for any energy shortfall…\u00a0We then headed north to Moultrie, Georgia, where I talked with\u00a0author Sarah Senkbeil.\u00a0 She had just published the book Company’s Coming<\/strong> about farming in the 1930s in America.\u00a0 (She’s 83 years old.)\u00a0 One of the lines from her book\u00a0reads:\u00a0 “I’m trying to figure out how we can do what we do on a round world?”\u00a0 Gravity is, indeed, a mystery…\u00a0 As far as our campaign, we propose going back to a small farm agrarian based society where we, once again, farmed much like they did in the 1930s (organically, with small technology, and much more at ‘nature’s pace.’)…\u00a0\u00a0 In Moultrie, we also stumped on the downtown square where there is an “eternal flame” for all the local fallen service people; a majestic magnolia tree that was planted in 1845, and the Three Crazy Bakers Bakery nearby.\u00a0 We stopped in for coffee, and more stumping.\u00a0 One of the ‘crazy bakers’ was a woman from Australia who got in a lengthy discussion with my wife, who is from New Zealand.\u00a0 Needless to say, the accents were thick.\u00a0 Then it was on to Albany…\u00a0 Note:\u00a0<\/strong> For a copy of Sarah Senkbeil’s book, call: 800-741-2712\u00a0 Note 2:\u00a0 While there’s been a lot of media stories, our main form of campaigning has been handing out campaign cards and putting up fliers on bulletin boards.\u00a0 And we’re asking our supporters to do the same from town to town.\u00a0 It’s our answer to the Super PAC million dollar TV ads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
