Become politically involved

I really want to be politically involved so im doing things with my town… like going to city meetings and such..one day i hope to run for something.

The unbelievable results of the 2000 elections in the U.S. drove me over the edge. What a fraud. And what a sad mistake.

I started listening to candidates in mid-2003, very early in the 2004 cycle. Serve on my county’s central committee. Tend to hang w/ people that want to discuss AND change this country from what we’ve been wallowing in since 2000.

Recently I began to follow the political news and found it quite interesting…

I used to be secretary and/or an alternate at the Democratic caucuses, but as time rolled out I ran out of time and inspiration for it. Lately I’ve been paying closer attention to the local Green party and might become involved with them.

I have found the political process not to be the avenue I’m looking for in which to do good things. Too much red tape, too many hoops to jump through…and even if you get through these, you only get 1/4 done as you would’ve like in any issue. Private non-profits are the way to go.
