In the midst of working for the Obama team, I really found a passion. In the past politics was something I watched on Sunday morning, much like football fans do. I was a watcher, but not active in it. With this campaign, that changed.





But with all the campaign work I've done, family events, starting a non-profit, blogging, and all the other things I've been doing, Transadvocate has suffered. I've been averaging about a post a week on Transadvocate, and that really isn't fair to my readership or to my sponsors.





As of right now, I'm on hiatus from blogging on the main page of Transadvocate. This hiatus will last till November. I'll still continue to blog here at Bilerico on a regular basis. If anyone has a desire to continue blogging the main page or Transadvocate, please email me. Most likely, I'm going to run the other Transadvocate bloggers through the front page. Getting Andre Carson, Ken Kern, and Barack Obama elected is my focus for now.

We need these equality minded people in office and transgender people need to work hard to see that they are. I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I'm doing it for me, for my friend Mel, her daughter, and the rest of the community as well. The next election will be historic in so many ways. We need to be present. We need to be visible. We need to be a part of history. I plan on doing my part and I hope you do too.
