yup, i worked for my local US Congressman CA-05 in the house of reps trying to advance our cause through policy everyday. i quit after the recent election because i just couldnt take the vitriol that was associated with our political climate.

today, despite being out of work from capitol hill, i continue to call and email Senator Kamala Harris and Senator Durbin because i believe our cause isnt plausible in the house (because of a GOP majority) and its in the US Senate (best way to add a legalization amendment due to only a 52 GOP majority) that our cause will be addressed via legislation and through conference committee.
