Run Against Bush needs You!
I received this message from Rich Khoe of Run Against Bush yesterday:
Dear Luke and Fellow Expats,Well, what're you waiting for? Get running, expats!Thanks for the earlier plug about us on the EAB blog. We've grown a lot since then - now standing at 8,000 members in all 50 states with over $225K raised. Our next ambitious goal is to pull off National Run Against Bush Day on September 18. We were hoping you could help us spread the word among your readers, your mailing list, your friends, etc. Also...while we have events set up in Paris and Tokyo, we don't have anything yet in London, Norway, or Australia - hint hint... We'd love it if you could spread around the text below. Thanks again - for what it's worth, I think we're going to win.

----------------------------Run Against Bush is a grassroots movement dedicated to the goal of removing George W. Bush from the White House. We literally “run against Bush” by raising money and awareness to support the Kerry/Edwards campaign. Since February, we have signed up almost 8,000 members in all 50 states, raised more than $225,000, and conduct regular runs and group walks in 40 cities. On National Run Against Bush Day on September 18, we will hold runs and group walks in more than 100 cities across the country and around the world!
Please check out our evolving webpage. While we have Tokyo and Paris lined up, we're trying to get runs set up in at least 20 cities across the globe, and we need your help. Keep in mind that an event will range anywhere from two to [sky's the limit if you're really ambitious] people and doesn't require a lot of time to organize! If you're interested, email ben@runagainstbush.org today. Make your voice count, and show your solidarity with 10,000+ Americans across the globe that Bush does not stand for America and that you're behind Kerry and Edwards!
Yep... I joined RAB and have my Tshirt... and I go out running all by myself. I tried to get a group of runners together a few months ago but no one seemed interested.
Anyone want to try to have a run on Sept. 18th?
