Memphis? No, Little Rock ... But Yes, Memphis

Well, can you believe I leave Wisconsin and go help out the Arkansas Democratic Party? It just so happens Tuesday was the kickoff for their Women to Women campaign and last night was a wonderful fundraiser at the Rep. You know how Wisconsin's politics has been affected by Koch money? The same thing has happened in Arkansas. 41 days left to get out the vote and women can make the difference in every state's elections. 

The logo in Arkansas's election for their 3 democratic women candidates are "experienced, proven, and ready to serve."   Not only was I privvy to hearing these three "female" candidates-
 Susan Inman for Secretary of State, Regina Hampton for State Auditor and Karen Sealy Garcia for State Treasurer but also saw and heard from gubanatorial candidate Mike Ross, Sen. David Pryor and Gov. Beebee.

The evening was also filled with the phenomenal Broadway Tony award winning musical "Memphis." The talented cast was outstanding and energetic in their delivery with amazing choreography and music. Great voices besides dancing!

It's a must see for a terrific evening filled with entertainment which even though set in the '50's still has a poignant message for us today.


If it comes to a theatre near you, treat yourself.

Here's a youtube clip of the finale:Memphis
