Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default For those interested in Politics

I posted this in Spurious and I will repeat it here:

I just came back from the election judge training for the November election. For those of you who are interested, there is still time to contact your state election people and get involved. There is also a position called greeter for those who are intimidated by being a clerk, judge, or inspector. You get paid for this also.

Do you know what this position specifically is? I mean, its kinda obvious, but how could it lead to other things? Other higher positions, in terms of being a sort of internship?

The next 'higher' position is the Inspector, who is in charge of the precinct polling place for that particular election. As far as an internship, there is nothing like that (that I know of). What happens is that people move up (from clerk, to judge, to inspector) because of experience. You also get asked if you want to serve in school and local elections as well. The problem is finding people willing to do the job. Any by being involved you can assure yourself that the election process (at least in your precinct) is on the up and up.
