I never thought I would be interested in doing anything political again. The last time I volunteered is something I find very embarrassing. I volunteered at the Republican headquarters during Gerald Ford' run for office. The only reason I can think of why I supported him was that my father had been a Republican, but that really does not make much sense. He did not influence many of my views. I was politically naive at that time. Fortunately I recovered from that conservative spell after going to UNC-G. It is funny that for a brief time I considered myself a Republican. While in college I went from that to being a socialist. I have fluctuated in my liberalism at times, but I have never gone back to being conservative. I still have very strong socialist leanings, and I strongly believe in human rights. I do want to get involved more actively in making changes in the political system in this country as long as I am here. As I have stated before if I could I would gladly move to Central or Eastern Europe, but as long as I am here I am committed in making my voice heard and urging others to speak out for reform. I am not sure what actions I will take, and I am just getting started. I am also starting to speak out LGBTQ rights, racial equality, women's rights, and true religious freedom. I have been silent too long. This has ended.
