Well, again, I live in this case in Brooklyn, New York, so I can vote and I do very vociferously as much as I can. I even sometimes talk locally, even sometimes at those types of meetings.

But I'm not a member of a party and I don't think that it is right.

Oftentimes, people who worked in Republican politics for a long time sat on their hands when there was the gay marriage debate that Sarah Longwell was talking about earlier, that they just sort of, even though they wanted this to happen, we're not gonna talk about it.
