    Everything starts with you engaging in local politics.

    You get the politicians your deserve.

    If you don’t engage in the local part of the political party that is closest to your views, then someone else will. That “someone else” might not have the same good intentions like you do.

    The politicians elected in the lower parts of the political pyramid are the ones that will eventually rise to the next level.

    So the corrupt ones in the top could have had a much harder journey if people stop focusing on the top and change focus to their own surroundings.

      Ok, I’ve voted in every federal, state, and local election since I turned 18, but my state is heavily jerrymandered. What now?
