<p>In the Fall of 2024, I went on<span style="font-weight: 400;"> an exhausting 8500 mile coast-to-coast journey with my Spanish Water Dog. I pitched in sporadically in random places on the campaign trail, trying to push Kamala Harris and Tim Walz across the finish line. The trip left me emotionally drained after a gut-wrenching loss at the ballot box. However, I felt that my quest was a success in a small but meaningful way. I realized along the way that I was fighting on the wrong battlefront.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My mission now is to help make America <em>good</em> again. We can resurrect American goodness by stepping away from our screens and getting out into the real world. Above are a few photos from our experiences. Click on an image to view them full size. We hope that they provide some inspiration for you to get out into the real world as well. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The revolution will not take place on a screen. The revolution will be <em>in real life</em>.</span></p>
