I got re-involved with activism with the Occupy Movement. Even though I live in AZ my nearest big city is Las Vegas and I got involved with Occupy Las Vegas and the camp we named Area 99. I also got involved with Occupy Kingman. I have a degree in Sociology and work in Environmental Health. I'm a pragmatist and a fiscal conservative. I'm progressive on social issues. I do not see these as diametrically opposed. I've been politically aware from a very young age and I think it is hardwired in me genetically. I am not a public speaker and I will never run for public office other than this. I'm willing to do the hard work of researching issues and writing policy proposals. I want this to succeed for so many reasons. I'm hoping that this country hasn't reached the tipping point of no return. The 1% has done a lousy job and it's time for the 99% to run things. We have to produce a well written document to present to the 3 branches of government with our grievances. Our opposition will look for any weak spots so lets look for them first and craft our words with care. We can do this. I'm fired up.

Welcome Barbara (so nice to have a name to use for you other than Mohave, lol).
I love your enthusiasm, and I'm looking forward to meeting you. It's good to know you have experience with policy writing - that will be very useful as we put this all together!!
