Doing my civic duty.

Today I volunteered to make calls as a Volunteer for Utahns for public schools. It's pretty cool! I log into this system online. I put in my phone number and my phone starts ringing. The numbers are all kept private. All I see is a name, their polling location, and a script. I just read the script to them, they respond, and I tell them to have a nice day. It's kind of fun and I feel like I am being proactive to do my civic duty.

Here is my script:

"My name is Haley and I am a volunteer for Utahns for Public Schools. I am calling you today to remind you that election day is Tuesday, November 6th. I have called to remind/ask you to vote AGAINST Referendum 1, the flawed private school voucher law. Your polling location is ______. Please remember to get out and vote on Tuesday, AGAINST Referendum 1. Thank you!"

La La La. La La La. I have nothing to say. La La La. Oh wait I do . . .

Here is funny picture of James and/or his Dad hanging out inside the trunk.

Rally! Rally! Rally!

On Saturday we were on a quest to take photographs. James has two photograpy classes this semester and he's taken lots of pictures, but this week's assignment was to photograph your own interpretation of John Lennon's "Imagine." We were kind of struggling with this project until we ran into a Peace Rally at the Salt Lake City and County Building. Here are some pictures.
