As a general rule, I try to stay out of politics as much as possible. No matter what I say, I end up looking like an uneducated fool or offending some family member or passerby. And although a nagging voice in the back of my head tells me to be a responsible citizen, to become educated about the issues, and to encourage others to do the same..I typically just vote how my parents tell me to.
And thus the vicious cycle of lack of political education continues and so does my rule of silence on all things political. Although something happened this semester that may have changed my perspective. While in a Family & Public Policy class, I've learned all the good (and bad) that legislation can do for families. And while I like to stay as politically neutral as possible...legislation that supports the well-being of families is something worth breaking the silence for.
And so I decided to do my duty as an upstanding citizen and become educated about the issues--particularly how political candidates and our current leaders view family legislation and what they are doing to make things better. This blog is not meant to endorse any political campaign, but is merely a way to make people educated about what is currently happening in family legislation (on both the state and federal levels) and how to support public policy that will positively impact the family. And so ends the silence...
