I apologize for any intrusion into the lives of "normal" people. I have recently found out that I am an object of ridicule and disgust. I never knew that one so low on the totem pole would be made fun of by those so high. I will attempt to fight back so I can do as Joe Biden's mom told him. If some of the big kids pick on you - keep fighting until you bloody their nose so you can walk down the street tomorrow.
It's not the fight that I am interested in. It's the street. The street called America. I have to walk down it because their are so many needs there. It's my home, and I won't be bullied by some moral hypocrites who don't value my work because they feel I'm beneath them.
Community organizer's have a saying. When you shake hands with a politician they have a way of leaving you a bill and at the same time taking all your credit. This goes double for certain mayor's.
While most mayor's are hard working individuals those with higher political ambition tend to not have time to create their own programs to help those in need. They will however take credit for mine and other community organizers.

When they go to the public to ask for votes they will run off a list of things that have happened in a community. Most of those things were brainstormed by myself and the citizens, set up by myself and the citizens, and work because the citizens need it to.
I've received many calls from mayor's who want to know if I can help this situation, or this block of houses, or this family. No is not part of the vocabulary because its usually my situation and close to my block and if not my family a family I've known for years.
Now, I'm told I'm scum. What I do has no merit or qualifies me to do anything. You know what, it doesn't matter what people say - what matters is what they do. If someone is critical of my job as community organizer they usually are individuals with an interest in a money over people.
When they are critical, that's when I know I'm doing something right. So if you don't mind, I will keep setting up tutorial programs for kids, help fund libraries, help educate the public on homeownership, provide counseling for families dealing with drug abuse, provide lighting to decrease crime, assist pregnant teens and their families, provide senior home improvement, arrange for field trips, get people who have been kicked off jobs by the people ridiculing me back to work, arrange for healthcare for the underemployed, talk to families about college, and do whatever it takes to make my neighborood, my city, my community safe. For those who ridicule what I do - will one day need me also. I will do my thankless job again.
