Political involvement

Dear Less Than 100 Hour Board,

Have any of you ever been involved in local politics and/or a political party? What is it like?

-Nervous about emailing the local political party and getting involved

In fourth grade I ran for school treasure. I promised my opponent I'd vote for her if she voted for me. I lost. That was about the end of my political involvement.

Wow, she totally played you. That girl probably went far in politics.

Sure. I was involved in the Utah County, Salt Lake County, and Clark County Democrats, and I worked for a politician once. I love that stuff. Go for it!

My husband worked on a campaign for a state senator once. He loved it. AND he got to meet this up-and-coming young senator from Illinois.....named Barak Obama.

Emiliana, is your husband Rory from Gilmore Girls? But really, that is so cool.

TBS, I didn't know you were involved with stuff, awesome. Well, I found out that there isn't a chapter of this political party in my county, but I might look into the Democrats as second choice (this is Texas afterall, it's my best bet really).

Basically, yes.

Out of curiosity, what was your first choice?

Green party! They really align closest with my ideals, but I recognize they aren't likely to get much traction beyond maybe influencing bigger players.
