I would like to take this chance to challenge all of you to do something political. I have found through my own experiences, that most of the people that study political science and other related fields never really do anything political outside the classroom. Of course, this statement does not apply to everyone. Most of us talk politics with our friends and families, but what do you put your name on the line for. When is the last time you joined a campaign and went through the scrutiny of the general public to push something you believe in? Have you taken a stand on an issue that you knew most of the people in the same room as you would disagree? Have you volunteered your time without ever wondering what you would get out of it? If everyone one put action behind their words we would have a much more politically involved public. It doesn’t matter what party you are a part of, or what ideology you might have. I challenge you to make a difference.

I too feel as though we should put action behind the words that many of us speak. Why say something and not do anyhting to support. Obama not only said some things, but put action behind them very words, and like him, I am ready to do the same thing. Let's all start today!
