I found some wise words by Terry Pickeral. He authored a power point presentation I found that said “…it is not enough simply to be born into a democracy; individuals must learn to engage in democratic action if they are to continue to govern themselves.”
With this economic downturn, I wonder if more people are feeling provoked to become civically engaged and contribute to a movement that will re-make America into positive and progressive nation once again.
I’m a searching soul when it comes to my own personal politics. By politics, I’ll use the definition I like best, “The process by which groups of people make decisions.” So I have begun to do some personal research of my own. I attended the local Republican Party’s meeting in April, and I attended “Obama’s Listening Tour” May 4.
So if you have a desire to understand the politics behind change, let me share some places you can go to begin your search for your political values and then…get involved!
