Diary of a Delegate: T'was the Night Before a Delegate Caucus

Not a creature was stirring not even....well this candidate for the 33rd Congressional District Caucus in Los Angeles, CA was up doing laundry and designing a flyer to give out tomorrow at USC while campaigning and caucusing for votes...I must be in Denver in August !!!!

Barack Obama must be named the Democratic Nominee and win the General Election in November...I will help him do it !!!!

My name is Danna Kiel and this is my first personal post to my blog spot....time is an amazing thing and I feel like I never have any. I am a full time teacher living here in Los Angeles, CA. While working as a full time Math Teacher I am also a full time Single Mother of a beautiful almost 6 year old son named Ali Daniel.

I am currently running to be a District Delegate for Obama to the Democratic National Convention from the 33rd Congressional District here in California. What a journey this has been? I have been keeping some video diaries which I wanted to upload to You Tube so we could count down together, but no time .... Tomorrow is however D-Day. So let the Caucuses begin....lining up starts at 2:00p at USC's Seely Mudd Hall. I am moving on to making a flyer as the sandman is dragging my eyes shut !!!!

The desire for self expression never rests. I ended up on the blog spot because I have chosen a new picture....a more recent picture of myself. The B & W attached to my profile was taken almost 6 years ago when Ali (my son) was 6 weeks old and I had just cut my hair back off from having grown dreadlocks for just over a year. I am beginning to feel guilty about the compliments regarding the maintenance of my youth. I am thinking "let's use the most current pic...not a 5 year old one".

While on Spring Break in NY I took pictures with the intention of updating facebook, myspace and even my blogtalkradio profiles anyway ...so no time like the present....

Ali will be 6 years old in April 25th and though God has blessed me to maintain a youthful spirit, beauty or in this case youthful good looks are in the eye of the beholder and so with this new picture...you guys behold....and do the math on approximately how old I am and you will see why I am spoiled by comments like "You look the same as when we entered Tuskegee ('86)"

Over the last few days I have done a tremendous amount of electronic campaigning and doing this blog while enriching my life is an electronic campaigning avenue....

From deadline last Wednesday April 2nd to today....Saturday night/Sunday morn the night before/day of ....it has cranked up from 0 to 60 in terms of campaining and getting the word out....so other than just being a proud american, a proud single parent and striving for excellence in the classroom... I would just say vote for me.....I am one of you ....I AM BEACUSE WE ALL ARE (Booker T. Wahington)
