Oh, Democracy

So remember how I watched the State of the Union with some awesome people and somehow ended up as the secretary of the Knox College Democrats? Well, it has been AMAZING. Already learning so much from these two amazing students who constitute the rest of the executive board of the club. They have both worked on campaign before, and I have in the last week had meetings with 2 local politicians, and gone canvassing for one of them door-to-door. This term has been sort of lack-luster academically, so I've been really excited to be getting more involved in other things.

“The human spirit glows from that small inner light of doubt whether we are right, while those who believe with complete certainty that they possess the right are dark inside and darken the world outside with cruelty, pain, and injustice.” -Saul Alinsky, Rules For Radicals
