I think public service is one of the higher things you can do in life. Also for the last 8 years or so I have met a wide range of people from all over the US as well as other countries in my travels for Dell. One thing I have found is that 100% of the people all had something to say, but none of them did anything about it. Jan of 2007 I went back to school and over 3 semesters of schooling while working full time I got my History degree as I felt that was a good place to start.

I intend to start at the local level. Some sort of city office, or city councilman of some sorts etc and work my way up to state senate prolly. The last election I looked at some of the numbers. Biggest thing is people just do not vote. The county my mom is from cast a total of 170 votes. Thats county not small hick town. I could win some sort of election if all I did was just rent a van and picked up people and took them to the voting center.

But I want to be one of the people that does something. Not sit around a table drinking bear bitching about it like everyone else.
