The event of Ted Kennedy’s death has prompted me to finally get moving and write this post.  I’ve been contemplating for a while now on how one person can really make a difference (legally) in politics today.  Sure, you can be an advocate, push your ideas, vote in all the elections, donate money and time.  But where does all that really get you?  There is still someone else out there making the decisions for you, and no matter how much you make like them, and think that they think like you, you really don’t know how they are going to be influenced by the political game and how they are really going to end up voting.  The only way to guarantee that someone is going to do things the way you want them done, is if that someone is you.  So, with that said, my home county of Louisa’s supervisor elections are coming up this November, and I am, even though I will be rather late entering, if I can do so at all at this point, going to try to run for my districts seat.  Hopefully the process to get on the ballot isn’t too prohibitive.I’ll keep everyone posted on the process.
