6. My Mom
My mom, who is from france and not a citizen, is passionate about politics and she impressed upon us the evils of the gop. She did not like the republicans. Growing up my brother and I sat around the kitchen table discussing politics with her. I was around 11 or 12. As my younger siblings grew up they got in the act.
I always remember being into politics.
The past year, feeling very disenfranchised and finding the news talking up the gop and putting down dems I got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore. There had to be somewhere where democrat was not a dirty word and I could get the real stuff. I knew about blogs, so went in search of them. They have been my lifeline where I could be around the news that doesn't get reported, no busy ass licking and people who felt like I did.
It's a daily event.
