  1. So volunteer for a campaign. by Animats · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We're in an election season. This a great time to help out with the campaigns of politicians you like. Often, tney need computer help. You'll meet their staff, and the candidate briefly. So you'll know who to talk to when the time comes.
