So who am I?

Good grief! You still want to know more?
Well, you can find out by reading on:

Groups I'm Affiliated With

• Travis County Green Party -- Like the Libertarian Party, the Green Party is an alternative to the Republocrats that have ruled this country for too long. I have realized, however, that the Green Party is more in line with who I have become recently - for example, their philosophy is organized around the "Ten Key Values" of grassroots democracy, social justice, ecological wisdom, non-violence, decentralization, community-based economics, feminism, diversity, responsibility, and future focus.
  
  
• AustinImpeach -- We are dedicated to working for the impeachment and removal from office of "President" George W. Bush and "Vice President" Dick Cheney. The organizations sponsors forums, rallies, and protest events to call people's attention to the necessity of ridding our nation of the mis-governance of these two criminals.
  
  
• Gaia Spirituality -- This web site describes the spiritual path, based on Wicca, that I have created and follow. It is centered around building the kind of spiritual foundation that's going to be needed over the coming years. It is centered around the celebration of the worth-ship (which is the root of the word "worship") of four aspects of our existence: the self, the community, our mother Earth, and the Divine.
  
  
• The Live Oak Local Council of the Covenant of the Goddess -- The Covenant of the Goddess was founded in 1975 to increase cooperation among Wiccans and to secure for Wiccans and Wiccan groups the legal protection enjoyed by members of other religions. The Live Oak Local Council is the local presence of CoG in central and south Texas, and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. I currently serve as the public information officer of Live Oak.
  
  
• The Naturist Society -- This is a national organization of naturists and nudists. It publishes the quarterly magazine "N" with news, essays, and reports on great places around the world to enjoy life clothes-free. It also sponsors the Naturist Action Committee, whose task is to monitor and, where possible, influence state and national legislation that affects our freedom to engage in nude recreation.

Groups I Have Been Affiliated With

• Travis County Libertarian Party -- From 2000 through October 2005 I was a member of the Travis County Libertarian party; I was the Party's candidate for State Senator from Austin in the 2000 elections, earning 18% of the total votes cast. My TV show, Liberty & Justice for All, was a regular segment of the TCLP's show, Live & Let Live.
  I am, however, no longer a member of the Libertarian Party; instead, I have moved my affiliation to the Green Party, above.
  
  
• Council of the Magickal Arts -- a Texas-based organization that hosts a semiannual gathering of over 500 Pagans of all kinds, at Samhain and Beltane each year. Thank Goddess, it's beginning to recover from a dark time when incompetent, and in one case even malicious, leadership nearly destroyed it.
  
  
• The Pagan Alliance of Central Texas (PACT) -- a group of Wiccans and other Pagans that acted for fellowship and support of its members, and to raise public awareness that Paganism is a valid religious path in the world today. I served as president of PACT from May, 1998, to April, 2000. Sadly, PACT went out of "business" in 2002.
  
  
• VORTEX Repertory Company -- I was a member of the Company from 1992 until 2001, but my job requirements prevented me from continuing as a Company member. While I was a member, I stage-managed several shows, acted in one show (The Pitchfork Disney), and directed one (Free Will & Wanton Lust, the last show at the old Ben White location).
  
  
• I originated the web pages for the Personal Safety Awareness Center and the Austin Rape Crisis Center (which has now merged with the Austin Center for Battered Women to become SafePlace). Until the end of 1996 I managed those pages and did hot-line staffing, hospital assistance for rape survivors, and public speaking to people in the 6th grade through college. During that time, I was recognized as a "Hall of Fame" volunteer.
