I am taking a huge step toward commitment this week. I am officially becoming a Democrat. It's ok...you can laugh. I know it sounds ridiculous that this is a big deal. But it is. I mean, when I was 18, I think I was quite responsible when I registered as an Independent. I mean, what did I know? While I THOUGHT I was a Democrat, I didn't presume to know myself that well at such a young age. I mean, even then I knew I was raised pretty sheltered. And I wanted to make sure I really knew and understood what I believed...and that I wasn't just believing these things because that's how I was raised. Make sense? Well, fast forward XX amount of years. I think it's safe to say I am ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT A DEMOCRAT. And I have been for many, many years. But I've just never taken the extra step to make it official...because that's a commitment right there, folks. And that gives me heart palpitations. For realz. To be a little fair...I was holding off a little bit because I wasn't sure if I was fiscally conservative. But I"m not. I'm a Dem through and through. I'm been thinking about making this official for about a year now for a couple reasons. Mainly because I've had this feeling that I want to get a bit more involved with campaigns, and I'd like to vote in primaries. The final straw was this past Sunday when I was literally standing in the middle of my friend's living room yelling at the tv during Meet the Press. It was at that moment that I realized that like it or not, I'm invested in politics. I will never run for an office, but my heart is in it. So...this week I will register with the Democratic Party.
So....anyone know how I do that? :)
You GO girl!
