What are you doing?

Are you concerned with the current political climate in your city, state or nation, and if so what are you doing about it? Are you simply just complaining, griping, and screaming?

Are you one that sits on the sidelines waiting for your local party committees to select its members who will then have a vote to select candidates for elected office, that you may not agree with? I ask again what you are doing about it?

There is more to our political system than just sitting around until Election Day and voting for individuals that are put up by your local committees who later may create havoc as an elected official.

Catch the problem earlier and you can avoid the headaches later!

The days of you trusting your committee and candidates are long gone, you need to get actively involved with a voice and purpose. As a committee member you have access to prospected candidates beforehand, giving you an opportunity to quiz them and make your decision early on in the process.

This election cycle for local offices should be your starting point, get involved, contact your local party chair and ask when and where are the meetings, ask how to become a member, ask what you can do to help the party.

Don’t know the party chair? Do an online search or even ask the local registrar of voters in your town or community.
