Power is everything

In case you didn’t know, I love politics.  It’s a snarky underhanded business, but I love the push and pull of elections.  I especially love that time every four years when we have a presidential election.  I really really love how this time around it’s going to be a real race; new candidates, fresh ideas.  It’s great. 

I live in one of those red states so politics usually doesn’t play a big roll here but it is truly exciting to have a say so in what is going on.  There is so much focus on the Texas primary and it sends chills up my spine.  Just last week, former President Bill Clinton was here to stump for his wife.  BILL Clinton came to my lil ole oil town.  It was great, but I must say, not that many people were there to see him speak.  Today, Barak Obama is here to speak.  This is a huge deal to me and my community.  (Yes, I refer to my community as small, but it’s not.  This part of Texas is usually overshadowed because Houston is less than an hour away, but it’s a good size.) 

The point is, I’m glad that people are taking an active role in decision making.  I voted in my first primary election this past week (I early voted) and there was a line.  People actually wanted to go to the caucus next Tuesday.  People are having rallies to support their candidates.  This my friends is what America is all about.  People letting their voice be heard in a clear and responsible way and exercising their rights as United States citizens by taking part in the process.  People are recognizing they have power…

And power is everything!
