Do More Running in 2017

January 3, 2017 by WendyB

Still pondering a New Year’s resolution? Consider running — for office, that is! We need more sane, smart people in politics. If you don’t know how to get started, check out my list of resources on The Activist Playbook.

Even if you’re not ready to run yourself, these programs can help you prepare to work on a candidate’s campaign. I’m going to start with that!

    Ms. Wendy, I don’t know if I can keep doing this. I burst into tears today. I’m already discouraged because of the full-frontal, unrelenting assault on everything that is important to me and all of us. There are so many bills that they’re ramming through in just the first two days that I can’t keep up, don’t have the time to address.

      The only thing worse than than this brutal fight is giving up and just letting these things happen! Stay strong! xoxo

        That was so whiny of me. I think the unbelievable hatred from supporters of the repeal of the ACA and de-funding of PP had gotten to me yesterday. So much clueless, ignorant bile and vitriol. I finally snapped and started challenging people regarding their lack of knowledge and false preconceived ideas. And it re-energized me! And made me understand and appreciate political journalists and people who work in government. Their work seems overwhelming to me; my civic duties are simple and easy. Resist!

        Oh, I feel like giving up all the time too. But then I remember that the results of giving up will come back to haunt me. So I muddle along!
