Start with school board (if you're a parent) and get involved. My mother volunteered for our state Assembly person when I was a kid. Here in SF I'd probably focus on the Board of Supervisors and definitely those running for Judge and DA. I think a lot of people despite their support of a national candidate allow themselves to be influenced by corporate media interpretations and their emotions instead of having criteria for selection. They also fail to see the big picture. Candidates need money and people willing to put their time into supporting their campaign and be strategic in that support. If you don't know how a law gets passed or the differences each town, city or state operates how can you know that you are making a truly informed decision? We all want our candidate of choice to do the 'right thing' but how does one define that?Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-66750557759396526812008-10-05T06:25:00.000-07:002008-10-05T06:25:00.000-07:00A good movie to check out is "In Debt we trust" .....A good movie to check out is "In Debt we trust" ... although it was released in 2005, it predicted everything that is going on now and how there will be another credit crisis after this one (student loans). <BR/><BR/>about voting: politics is local. what is good for the geese is not good for the gander when it comes to state and local politics. <BR/><BR/>Folks need to be come educated and active participants. It bothers me that most people know everything about Obama but so little about who their city council person is (and that person might go to church with you!). No one knows who runs their local school board. <BR/><BR/>Join your local civic league, join the PTA, get involved.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.com
