Ostrich in WASHINGTON
April 07th 03:31:57 PM
Last weekend, the Ostrich and I travelled north to the beautiful state of Washington - We stopped at University of Washington, Seattle University and the Washington College Republican state convention.
A major goal for S4 is to build up our membership- get as many people on board with us; people who agree that the current system is MESSED up and that having the choice for PRA's would be a GOOD ONE. So, visiting schools is a great way to get one on one interactions with people from our generation. I love getting the conversation on Social Security reform going by asking all the gawkers (trust me- when you look as obnoxious as i do in an ostrich suit- there are always LOTS of people staring!!) if they know why i'm riding an ostrich. Many say, "umm, NO." But some people try to think of responses. My favorite, "Because you have a problem getting to class on time and the ostrich can run real fast" I couldn't help but BUST up laughing, then agree, "YES- thats exactly right!" Then I dashed right off in the opposite direction, sprinting to class via the ostrich.
Ok Ok- i didn't actually go to class because I still needed to talk to students. But when people say, "NO, I don't know why you're riding an ostrich" I say, "Well, the ostrich and I are looking for other people who agree that Congress needs to get its HEAD out of the SAND and FIX Social Security" And BAM there we have it...they start talking about Social Security reform with a random girl riding a random ostrich. LOVE IT.
All in all, the Ostrich was well recieved in Washington...check out this last pic- no one can hate on an ostrich in favor of Social Security reform, in fact, many want to KISS HIM!!
