I usually don’t get involved much in politics. But, for the last 6 months, I have been treasurer of a friend’s campaign who is running for US Congress in Illinois. It have been quite a ride.
Today, is the primary election in the state. A race to decide who gets to run against the person who now holds that office. My youngest son and I spent the entire day working for the campaign. This involved the somewhat tedious tasks of distributing literature to homes in the area plus 5 hours of calling people to get them to vote (and hopefully for our candidate).
I was humbled by the entire democracy process. How electing leaders is really made up of thousands of small acts that hundreds of people working together do. Yet another day, that while my country isn’t perfect, I am glad that I live in the greatest democracy in the world.
