Commitment

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?  :)
