I’m a proud Democrat and a member of the College Dems chapter at my university, so I jumped right in and started investigating Kerry’s issues and opinions in spring semester of my freshman year.

When he started making appearances at rallies and such, I joined the Dems in supporting him. Eventually, our president got in touch with one of his campaign staffers, and we were allowed to act as a form of security as people entered TD Waterhouse Centre when he made an appearance there. We were allowed seats right near the stage, and following the rally, most of us got to shake Kerry’s hand, or say a quick hello to John Edwards. We also did some phonebanking in connection with the campaign

Definitely worth the experience; depending on issues I will fully support the Democratic candidate for 2008. I really enjoyed the feeling of making a difference, even if in a small way.
