On Becoming Politically Active

Democracy. It’s one of the values that defines our country. But for all our talk, do we really value democracy? When was the last time you voted? Did you ever call, e-mail or write your representative? Do you know what your school board is doing? Do you take any time to truly understand the issues facing the country, your state, city, etc.? Unless you are actively involved, you don’t really value democracy.

Repeat this: Starting with me, democracy will be truly valued and will start working like it’s supposed to.
