This blog is an attempt to record my thoughts, forcing me think about issues that matter to me and to correct the typos as I go along.
What matters to me? My family, my job as a community organizer, Syracuse, N.Y.–it’s development and its politics, the music of Bruce Springsteen (and all mixtures of rock, blues, punk, R & B, soul, reggae), the Boston Red Sox baseball team, the basketball and lacrosse teams from Syracuse University.
Central NY as seen through the eyes of someone who is a community organizer; a smart ass and a homebody–welcome to my world.

Hi-
I’ve followed your blog with interest since Sean Kirst wrote about local blogs last summer. I’d love to talk with you further about local politics and what I hope to accomplish as a candidate for a local office, jumping back in to the political fray 23 years after running for Congress. I’d especially like to review the sewage tratement plant issue with you. You could check out our rudimentary, development stage web site, too. http://www.tombuckel.com
Thanks! I hope that we can talk soon!

Hi,
I really like your blog. I stumbled upon it while doing a search for community organizing and law schools. I’m a grad student working full time in New York City and am interested in getting involved in community organizing. Any ideas for where I can start?
Thanks,
Victoria

We would like to sing some holy anti-mall anthems at the Destiny, and wonder if you can point us to the key activists knowledgeable on the matter.
