05/31/04  Laura Miller from an Ex-Volunteer's Perspective

Sharon, I worked for the election of Laura Miller the first time from contributing, to stuffing envelopes, to posting a sign in front of my high traffic house on Inwood.   We also went to her election night party.  It was a pleasure to work for someone I believed could help the city of Dallas.

How could we all have been so wrong?? 

I should have known her persona was a mirage when both my spouse and I send resumes as potential city volunteers (silly us, believing that we could help).  Since we didn't have political chops, I didn't expect that we would be considered for even the lowest volunteer position.  However, I did believe that we would get a post card from her thanking us for volunteering and that if anything came up, we would be on file.  That is usually the kiss of death but everyone likes a little thank you without a hand being held out for yet more money. 

Didn't her parents or advisors teach her any manners?

Just letting off a little steam.  We have just moved to McKinney so I'm out  of the fray.  However, I continue to financially support those politicians I believe in no matter how far away I live, except not Laura.... any more..
