Oh, wow! That was as much help as I could have wanted. First, good for you.
Then, I would do exactly as you suggest were I not 80 years old with a couple of health issues and living so rurally that the nearest grocery store is an hour away.
I tried to volunteer for several campaigns and at several organizations, sending a resume and a sample article but stating that I would be happy to do anything at all that was needed that I could do online. I was totally ignored. I didn't even receive a boilerplate answer.
So, it looks like I'll be sitting in front of this screen venting. Either that or perhaps ... gardening?
